Benny, King of Swing

I've recently obtain an interest in jazz music especially Benny Goodman. So, here's a little something for and his song Sing, Sing, Sing.

"Sing,Sing, Sing" 

Got to love that song that’s sweet,

It matters not if you’re young or old

You got to join this good time swing.

 

Grab a boy or girl that’s free,

Music man, playing off the sheet

How’d ya make such rhythmic gold?

Got all dancing to that good time swing,

 

 Hear those trumpets be blowing,

Stomp my feet to that cello beat.

Hear those drums be beating,

It’s the orchestra of the Swinging King.

 

Music man, playing your clarinet,

How’d ya know to play with soul?

Been blowing that pipe when only ten years old,

Kept on playing, till the day you grew old.

 

Do right, do right

You King of Swing.

Blowing on that clarinet brings joy to my ears

 Making all my worries disappear.

 

Music helped to save my soul

That King of Swing; he knew music’s glow.

Kept music swinging all to heaven’s door,

Got to love that good time swing.

I tried to post a video, but failed. Hope to get the hang of this lol Also, for true Goodman's fans out there I hope I wrote this justly. If not, please kindly mention what I can do better. Thank you.

Very nice and I could hear and feel the beat and from someone that seems to be tone deaf that is saying something. Really well done.

Also have to add I went back and played the video and spot on. I love that show.
