Our writing prompt was 'Time' and I wasn't getting anywhere with it. Then I started playing with common word pairs with time and Swing Time stood out in that set. I found a chord progression on the web and suddenly this came out of me ;-)
Lyrics
Sometimes ya gotta let yourself go, go, Go
Get loose like a goose stepping high in the flow
Let your Chunky Monkey meet your Mud Slide Slim
Boogie 'til your shoes are worn so thin
Your socks start to smoke like a joke in the wind.
[Chorus]
Swing time
Swing time
Swing time!
[Verse 2]
Sometimes you've just GOT to get into trouble
Roll in the flow, wubble on the bubble
Shuffle and slide, scoop her through, slip a hip
Strike a pose, tap a tip
Movin' and a-groovin to the end of the step
[Chorus]
Swing time
Swing time
Swing time!
[break]
Slink, slide, shuffle and glide, catch her eye like that
She'll flash a smile, strut by in style, while her fingers snap!
Her shoulder roll steals your soul, you're at her side in seconds flat,
Together you twirl, you and that girl ain't never coming back!
[Verse 3]
Don't feel like dancin', da life got you down?
Step on the floor, move a bit wit your frown
Step out of your head, step into your skin
As your feet tell the story 'bout where you've been
Then leave it on the floor 'cuz your heart kicks in
[chorus]
