Ann Hampton Callaway - Swingin Away The Blues Lyrics

In centuries twenty and twenty one
The world is spinnin' faster for ev'ryone
Why does it seem sanity's takin' a snooze?
But there's an old remedy I adore
Snappin' my fingers on the two and four
I like to call it \"swingin' away the blues\"

CHORUS Swingin' away
Swingin' away
Swingin' away
Swingin' away the blues

Well, give me those trumpets and saxophones
I'm gonna be confidin' with the slide trombones
Slap that bass, put some tap in my shoes
If I can hear the drummer playin' Krupa style
All my woes'll walk away single file
Hear that piano \"swingin' away the blues\"

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL (Modulation)

BRIDGE

When I can't find a silver lining
In any cloud, anywhere, anytime
All I need to stop my whining
Is just a beat, not too sweet, ready beat
Blues'll drop with a bop, heady beat
Then a smile in a while- steady beat
Soon that swingin' starts me singin'
SCAT

So, whatever happens from day to day
Happiness is always just a song away
Say \"bon voyage\", send those cares on a cruise
When drivin' or dreamin' or when you jog
When you wash your dishes or walk the dog
You gotta try it- swingin' away the blues

CHORUS

CODA CHORUS
S-W-I-N-G
That's what does it for me
Swingin' away
Swingin' away the blues
Swingin' away the blues!
Yeah!
