Intro<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019re known to be armed and extremely dangerous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus: x2<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swing Swing Swing Swing
Everybody start to Swing
La-di-da, whoa-oh-oh
That\u2019s the way that the Hoppers roll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 1<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offbeat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well it\u2019s that infamous gang of Swing Hop practitioners
Back with a brand new batch for our listeners
We\u2019re Public Enemy Number 1 similar
To my man Chuck D and to John Dillinger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pye:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m swinging like monkeys in the trees
Humble as a trumpet that\u2019s pumping in the streets
I keep hip hop fun I am the drum coming like
Damn son Gimme that Slam Dunk Beat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offbeat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s like only yesterday that we burst on the scene
Now it seems that we\u2019re on the roster constantly
We\u2019re the ones that you want to see
With our unique brand of tongue in cheek mobster chic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pye:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019m the one, I have gone beyond the limit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharleena Ray:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now hush boys and step aside, won\u2019t you make some room for me?
Some say two is company but I\u2019d argue that it\u2019s three
Just as Benny Goodman had Louis Prima and Jess Stacey
I\u2019m delighted with my company the Swingpin and the P. Y. E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus x2<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swing Swing Swing Swing
Everybody start to Swing
La-di-da, whoa-oh-oh
That\u2019s the way that the Hoppers roll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verse 2<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offbeat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ain\u2019t the kinda swing that your grandad or nan spun
Old school fans of jazz just can\u2019t stand us
That\u2019s sad but, I don\u2019t really give a damn coz
Benny might have been a Goodman but I\u2019m a bad one<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pye:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If ya picked the hoppers by flying on a lucky hunch
We\u2019re so sick you\u2019ll 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<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offbeat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So find the escape route and hide in the safe room
When me and my crew come through swinging like Babe Ruth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pye:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shake down ya fake crew then straight to your base, you’ve
Taken the bait so we\u2019re taking your HQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offbeat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if fun is all you seek, you\u2019re more than free to draw a seat,
We\u2019re sure to be, at the bar sorta like a law degree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pye:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drunk and disorderly if ya party raucously
We’re purveyors of the classiest debauchery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surely you must agree, where revelry\u2019s involved, then so are we
Me and my amigos, watch as we go down in history
Yes, 3\u2019s the magic number, like the shuffle of a triplet groove
So when you hear that swingin\u2019 pulse, you better move, move, move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus x2<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
