THE ZINGIN’ SWINGIN’ SIXTIES

Intro:

The twenties gave us ragtime,

The thirties gave us jive,

The forties gave us bebop,

And kept our jazz alive.

In the fifties bossa nova

Came from Rio all the rage,

But it’s the Zingin’ Swingin’ Sixties

That takes the centre stage.

Verse1:

Boogie, boogie, boogie

‘Til the joint is really jumping.

Boogie, boogie, boogie

‘Til the neighbours start athumping.

Everyone’s a winner, darlin’,

Everyone’s a king.

It’s that swingin’ sixties music

That makes the rafters ring.

Chorus:

Shake, baby shake;

Shake, baby, shake;

Wake baby wake,

Make, baby make.

You’ll never get together

If you think about the weather

Baby, live it up for ever

‘Cos the sixties is the music for you.

Verse2:

Sweet sixties music.

We’ll always use it;

You’ll always choose it.

We’ll never lose it.

If you want some pleasure

Just unearth this treasure,

‘N play it for your baby tonight.

Verse3:

Everybody’s happy

Cool and fingersnappy

Everywhere you hear up,

It will make you cheer up,

If you want some pleasure

Just unearth this treasure,

‘N play it for your baby tonight.

Verse4:

[You can]

Sing it in the tub;

Sing it in the club

Play it on a grand,

Play it in a band

If you want some pleasure

Just unearth this treasure,

‘N Play it for your baby tonight.

Chorus.
