Swing Swing Swing

Intro

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you some breaking news – The Swinghoppers are on the loose! If you see them, do not approach them. They’re known to be armed and extremely dangerous!

Chorus: x2

Swing Swing Swing Swing
Everybody start to Swing
La-di-da, whoa-oh-oh
That’s the way that the Hoppers roll

Verse 1

Offbeat:

Well it’s that infamous gang of Swing Hop practitioners
Back with a brand new batch for our listeners
We’re Public Enemy Number 1 similar
To my man Chuck D and to John Dillinger

Pye:

I’m swinging like monkeys in the trees
Humble as a trumpet that’s pumping in the streets
I keep hip hop fun I am the drum coming like
Damn son Gimme that Slam Dunk Beat

Offbeat:

It’s like only yesterday that we burst on the scene
Now it seems that we’re on the roster constantly
We’re the ones that you want to see
With our unique brand of tongue in cheek mobster chic

Pye:

It’s that rum runner, swift to rip it, I’m here to lift ya spirit
With a quick rhythm then switch it and kick a lyric
Burst a lip, split a lung with a verse to twist a tongue
Spit n stun, I’m the one, I have gone beyond the limit

Sharleena Ray:

Now hush boys and step aside, won’t you make some room for me?
Some say two is company but I’d argue that it’s three
Just as Benny Goodman had Louis Prima and Jess Stacey
I’m delighted with my company the Swingpin and the P. Y. E.

Chorus x2

Swing Swing Swing Swing
Everybody start to Swing
La-di-da, whoa-oh-oh
That’s the way that the Hoppers roll

Verse 2

Offbeat:

This ain’t the kinda swing that your grandad or nan spun
Old school fans of jazz just can’t stand us
That’s sad but, I don’t really give a damn coz
Benny might have been a Goodman but I’m a bad one

Pye:

If ya picked the hoppers by flying on a lucky hunch
We’re so sick you’ll be trying not to chuck ya lunch
Ducking weak spitters, we hit like a knuckle getting
Stuck into the ruck n coming up with the sucker punch

Offbeat:

So find the escape route and hide in the safe room
When me and my crew come through swinging like Babe Ruth

Pye:

Shake down ya fake crew then straight to your base, you’ve
Taken the bait so we’re taking your HQ

Offbeat:

But if fun is all you seek, you’re more than free to draw a seat,
We’re sure to be, at the bar sorta like a law degree

Pye:

Drunk and disorderly if ya party raucously
We’re purveyors of the classiest debauchery

Surely you must agree, where revelry’s involved, then so are we
Me and my amigos, watch as we go down in history
Yes, 3’s the magic number, like the shuffle of a triplet groove
So when you hear that swingin’ pulse, you better move, move, move!

Chorus x2

Swing Swing Swing Swing
Everybody start to Swing
La-di-da, whoa-oh-oh
That’s the way that the Hoppers roll
