Now, Arab sheikhs on the burning sands,
Come into their harems and clap their hands,
Said, "Come on, girls, are 你 ready to play?
Let's have a little 更多 of that swingin' today."
Now, in the land of Fu Manchu,
The girls all now do the Suzie-Q,
Clap their hands in the center of the floor,
Saying, "Ching, ching, chop-suey, 摇摆, 秋千 some more!"
Now, geisha girls in old Japan,
Wink behind their peacock fans,
Since they learned to say, "Yeah!
Let's 摇摆, 秋千 it like Amelican's 摇摆, 秋千 摇摆, 秋千 dance!"
Now, Gypsy caravans have changed their mode,
They truck down the Romany road,
With their hi-de-hos, and their hey-hey-diddle,
Doin' the 摇摆, 秋千 on the Gypsy fiddle.
Them eastern wisemen know the story,
Of the 摇摆, 秋千 with Oriental glory,
They stroke their beards and grin,
Sayin', "Swing, little children, till the dawn comes in!"

Let's 摇摆, 秋千 it like Amelican's 摇摆, 秋千 摇摆, 秋千 dance!"

Sometimes you're sentimental
I know exactly what to do
And if I'm temperamental
你 calm me down and 你 pull me through
[chorus]
We are the lucky ones
We have one another
When the end of the 日 has come
I return to 你
Life can be so demanding
Sometimes it's hard to make it through
It's 爱情 and understanding
你 give to me, I give to 你
[chorus]
Our own fairy tale
Our 最喜爱的 bedtime story
One that we won't forget
We fell in love
We knew from the start
We'd always be together
The first time that we met
Can't forget
[chorus]
All alone in the setting sun
I'll have 你 and you'll have me
I know exactly what to do
And if I'm temperamental
你 calm me down and 你 pull me through
[chorus]
We are the lucky ones
We have one another
When the end of the 日 has come
I return to 你
Life can be so demanding
Sometimes it's hard to make it through
It's 爱情 and understanding
你 give to me, I give to 你
[chorus]
Our own fairy tale
Our 最喜爱的 bedtime story
One that we won't forget
We fell in love
We knew from the start
We'd always be together
The first time that we met
Can't forget
[chorus]
All alone in the setting sun
I'll have 你 and you'll have me
