Lyrics

Savoy (yeah, that's a part of what Harlem was all about) Savoy (you know, the home, the home of happy feet) The Savoy Ballroom Yeah, my daddy met my momma, my momma met my daddy Listening to Ella Fitzgerald This chick wimping, hmm And that's part of the reason I'm here today, babies So I grew up listening to all this Cool and hip music You know, I got to enjoy it when I was like, you know, seven, eight Nine years old And I'm so glad to be able to Throw a thunderball down your way Pick it up Savoy (the home of sweet romance) Savoy (it wins you with a glance) Savoy (gives happy feet a chance) Let's dance Oh, your form (just like a clinging vine) Your lips (warm and sweet as wine) Oh, your cheek (soft and close to mine) Divine How my heart is singing While the band is swinging I'm never tired of a-romping And stomping with you at the Savoy Savoy (a perfect holiday) Savoy (where we can glide and sway) Savoy (we're gonna stomp away) Let's dance How my heart is singing Listen to the big band swinging Never get tired of romping And stomping with you at the Savoy Savoy Savoy Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance Let's dance
