Lewis Franco: Songs and Lyrics
Swing 42
(Music by Django Reinhardt, Jewel Music Co., lyrics by Lewis Franco)
Hey friend
You're lookin’ like you're near the end
So tell me why you're feeling blue
While I play Swing 42
Oh man, where to start?
I hope you know some more Reinhardt
Cuz I'll still be cryin’ to you
Long after this song is through
The cats in the big house are callin’ the shots
The haves keep stickin’ it to the have nots
Chick's gone and left me she ain't comin’ back
Nothing can be solid Jack
Yeah, but Django
Didn't even have all his fingers
And if he could swing in '42 (a particularly bad year)
Let me tell you Papa you can too
