First of all you start this way Back and forth that's the way And now that you've got yourself swinging Do the same thing with your singing Swing me an old fashioned song Down by the old mail stream Da da de da da Swing me an old fashioned song Old fashioned song Croon me an old fashioned tune Da de da de da In the evening by the moonlight You can hear those darkies singing Oh Oh, croon me an old fashioned tune Just keep it soft and sweet With rhythm from the start But keep that old time beat The beat that's, straight from the heart Swing me an old fashioned song I wanted to say to the fields Maggie That's it, Its just an old fashioned song Dear old girls around us sing about you Roll be like a roll around Won't you try it Oh my darling, Oh my darling, darling Croon me an old fashioned tune Won't you swing just an old fashioned song Ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road And I'll be in Scotland a'fore Ye That how to swing, an old fashioned song Now sing and you'll be happy all day long Sing an old fashioned song
