Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits

You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park, but meantime
South of the river you (1)________ and you hold everything
A band is (2)______________ (3)__________ double four time
You (4)________ alright when you (5)________ that (6)__________ ring

Well now you step inside but you don't see too (7)________ faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Ah but the horns, (8)________ blowin' (9)________ sound
Way on (10)________ south
Way on (11)________ south, London town

Check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords
Mind he's (12)________________ rhythm, he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up (13)__________ the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't (14)________ the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's (15)__________ alright
He can (16)________ the (17)__________ tonk like anything
Saving it up for (18)____________ night
With the Sultans

They don't give a (24)________ about any (25)______________ playing band
It ain't (26)________ they call rock and roll
Then the Sultans
Yeah, the (27)______________ they played creole

And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
Goodnight, now it's time to go home
Then he makes it fast with one more thing
We are the Sultans
We are the (28)______________ of Swing
