Thomas Dolby - The Ability To Swing lyrics

Everybody talking talking pretty hard everybody talking 'bout singing from the heart if you want my opinion it doesn't mean a thing if you havn't got that ability to swing yeah, the ability to swing. everybody thinking thinking pretty hard everybody thinking 'bout singin' from the heart so listen up already I'm sayin' it again if you havn't got that ability to swing ah, the ability to swing. dreams, take 'em away go it alone, honey Rome wasn't built in a day but now it's a ruin, the joke has worn thin and it isn't cool to abuse the ability to swing. everybody working working pretty hard everybody working at singing from the heart if you want my opinion it isn't worth a bean if you you ain't in posession of the ability to swing, friends, send them away go it alone, honey Rome wasn't built in a day now it's a ruin, the joke has worn thin and it isn't cool to abuse the ability to swing. but each beat send me deeper under each beat send me more to sleep heart melts ice and heart spells danger don't hold your breath boy 'cause it don't come cheap. everybody looking looking pretty hard everybody searching for a meaning in my art I'll level with you bucko it isn't worth a bean if you ain't in posession of the ability to swing the ability to swing mmm, the ability to swing.
