Lyric Mr. Johnson Swing (1938)

Want all you people to listen while my guitar sing.
I want all you people to listen while my guitar sing.
If you ain t got that rhythm it don t mean a thing.

Sing for me guitar! [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]
       
Yes, indeed, yes indeed … take it Mr. Piano Man! [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Ahh, beat it, beat it, beat it out! Thank you so much, so much. [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Some people thinks I m dead because I been gone so long.
Some people thinks I m dead because I been gone so long.
I justa stopped see would you miss me from singin these lonesome songs.

Yes indeed, it s so good, it s so good. [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

I want all you people to listen while I swing this song.
I want all you people to listen while I swing this song.
If you born with that rhythm honest, you can t never go wrong.
