I'll be singin' hi-de-ho
And if I'm truly glory bound
I'll be found in swingtown
If I saw Count and Cab
And met the Duke Man that'd be fad
And when my time rolls around
Just lay me down in swingtown
[Chorus:]
And let the heavens swing with all their melodies
Put their names upon a big marquis
And when they need someone to sing a harmony
If I'm there please let 'em call on me
[Instrumental]
If I walked up to those pearly gates
And met Bob Wills that'd be great
Tell Ole Satchmo to come around
We'll all get down in swingtown
[Chorus]
When it's my time to go
I'll be singin' hi-de-ho
And if I'm truly glory bound
I'll be found in swingtown
