歌词与中文翻译
You get a shiver in the dark
黑夜中你打了个寒颤
It's raining in the park but meantime
此时广场上正大雨滂沱
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
你驻足河畔，一切仿佛暂停
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
一个乐队奏了八遍南方小调
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
听到曲调你感觉正好
You step inside but you don't see too many faces
你踱步进去但里面人不算多
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
从大雨中走进来听爵士
Too much competition too many other places
爵士乐演奏哪里都有
But not too many horns can make that sound
但没有其他乐器能演奏出这种声音
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
如此浓郁正宗的南方伦敦小镇的风味
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords

Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

And an old guitar is all he can afford
一把旧吉他是他所有的表达
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing

And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner

Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
穿着最好的褐色吊裆裤和厚底鞋，伶仃大醉
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band

It ain't what they call rock and roll

And the Sultans played Creole

And the man he steps right up to the microphone

And says at last just as the time bell rings

'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'

And he makes it fast with one more thing
