Darden Purcell: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Everbody's thinking
thing pretty hard.
Everybody's thinkin'
about singing from the heart.

If you want my opinion
it doesn't mean a thing
if you haven't got that ability to swing
The ability to swing.

Everybody workin'
workin' pretty hard
Everybody workin'
at singin' from the heat

If you want my opinion
it isn't worth a bean
if you haven't got that
ability to swing
The ability to swing

Dreams take them away
Got it alone
Honey, Rome wasn't built in a day
But, now it's a ruin
The joke has worn thin
And it isn't cool to abuse the ability to swing
Oh no!

Everybody talkin'
talkin' pretty loud
Everybody lookin'
to stand out from the crowd

Gonna break it to you bucko
It isn't worth a bean if you ain't in possesion
of the ability to swing
The ability to swing

Friends send them away
Go it alone honey, Rome wasn't built in a day
Now it's a ruin
The joke has worn thin
And it isn't cool to abuse the ability to swing
Oh no!

SCAT...

But, each beat takes me deeper under
each beat sends me more to sleep
Heart melts ice and heart spells danger
Don't hold your breath boy, 'cause it don't come cheap no

Everybody lookin'
lookin' pretty hard
Everybody lookin' for a meaning in my art
Gonna give it to you straight boy
It isn't worth a bean
if you haven't got that ability to swing
Yeah, the ability to swing

The ability to swing
The ability, the ability
The ability to swing.
The ability to swing.
The ability to swing.

Gonna give it to you straight
Boy, it isn't worth a bean
if you haven't got that ability to swing.
The ability to swing.
The ability to swing.
The ability to swing.
Ooooh
The ability to swing.
The ability to swing.
