Lyric

She used to be a flower that grew on the wall 
bringin all the fellas down 
cause back in school it wasn't too cool 
to pick up a chick who never goes to town 
she got so hot OH she burned bright 
she learned all that college could allow 
and between all the books that lindy hop got her hooked 
baby, you're swingin now 

she went to San Francisco to have a little fun 
she went with her cousin Lil 
crazy Lilly was wild and silly 
she took our girl away from the Windy City chill 
they went to the Highball Lounge, looked around 
right then our little lady took a vow 
when she saw the people shag she swore she'd pick up that bag 
baby, you're swingin now 

Now she's a first-class dancer, though she'd never say it's so 
But I tell you that it's true 
I'd put my arm 'round her shoulder 
So tightly I would hold her 
And this is what I'd say to her if she was feelin blue 
when you walk through the door 
they'll pick their jaws up off the floor 
And give you that Frankie Manning bow 
and like that trend-setter, they'll try and make you look even better 
baby, you're swingin now
