專輯：The Best of Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler - Private Investigations
歌曲：Sultans Of Swing
作曲：Mark Knopfler
You get a shiver in the dark
It's a rainin' in the park
but meantime
South of the river you stop
and you hold everything
A band is blowin'
Dixie double four time
You feel alright when
you hear the music ring
And now you step inside but
you don't see too many faces
Comin' in out of the rain
to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Oh but the horns
they blowin' that sound
Way on down south
way on down south London town
You check out Guitar George
he knows all the chords
But he's strictly rhythm
he doesn't wanna
make it cry or sing
They've said an old guitar
is all he can afford
When he gets up under
the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn't mind
if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job
he's doin' alright
He can play the honky
tonk like anything
Savin' it up Friday night
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
They don't give a damn 'bout
any trumpet playing band
It ain't what
they call rock and roll
And the Sultans
yeah the Sultans
they play Creole
Creole baby
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'
And he makes it fast
with one more thing
'We are the Sultans
We are the Sultans of Swing'
