I WANNA HEAR SWING SONGS
(Billy Moore / Sy Oliver)

as recorded by
Thomas "Fats" Waller & His Rhythm
March 20th 1941 New York


Oh I've got the blues,
Just because of the love songs;
I wanna hear swing songs,
Just swing songs all the day long!

Oh I don't need the moon,
I don't need a June night,
Just give me a swing song,
I hold tight
And follow all the day long!

Say there's love songs here,
Love songs there,
Romance is everywhere,
Driving me to despair!

So I'm singin' the blues,
Just because of those love songs;
I want to hear swing songs,
Just swing songs all the day long!
