Written by：Buster And Bennie Moten

That's swing

Swingin'from the time of birth

Swingin'fit t'shake the earth

My man

Swing a man for all he's worth

That's moten's thing

Swing that's the thing

Y'gotta dig it

Bust loose 'n give it a try

Go Go Go

Swing it Swing it Swing it

Put some pepper in the pot

'N that'll make it sweet an'hot

'Cause you're swingin'swingin'swingin'

Swing that's the thing

Y'gotta dig it

Bust loose 'n give it a try

Go Go Go

Swing it Swing it Swing it

Take it Jackson

Make some action oh yeah

Stir it up stir it up

Stir it up stir it up Benny

Hey

Moten's motion

Makes you feel some oh yeah

Stir it up stir it up stir it up

Let the chick steal some go

Moten's motion

Makes you feel some oh yeah

Stir it up stir it up stir it up

Let the chick steal some go

Aw shake that pretty little bundle

Til you're poppin'your top

"Cause I'm jus'gittin'in the groove

Baby please don't stop

Ooh turn me loose lemme go gimme room

Lemme flow like water downstream

I'm livin'my dream

Swingin'like a rusty gate oops

That's it it's the Moten's swing

If you ever git it don't 'cha run wit it

Benny done did it way back

Yes sir Mr Moten

It's his thing

That's swingin'

He's a swingin'it

Nobody can define it

It's a thing you can't describe in words

It's swingin'it's swingin'

Swing they call it

Benny Moten does it

Mos'people groove behin'it

Crowdin'every ballroom floor in herds

Jes'swingin'an'swingin's

What they call it

Benny Moten was it

Satchmo from Oliver defined it singin'

Basie with Moten he refined it swingin'

Now everyone's hip

Everyone's hip to the tip

People say it drives you crazy

Everyone digs that thing

Everyone likes a fling

Everyone likes to swing
