I don't swing like I know where else can
Swings to the sound of the big show band
Dublin and Belfast and village and town
Yeah, everywhere swings to the big, big sound
Now if your work is done and you want to have some fun
Maybe even meet someone you met and have a night you won't forget
Plan it right before you leave tonight
Let me tell you where to go, go a-dancin' though
Island swings like I know where else can
Swings to the sound of the big show band
Drift is Miami, the royal blues
Don't forget, Brendan, bring your huckleback shoes
Guessin' all you're sittin' out of things get warm
Tryin' to get an autograph written on your arm
Askin' that a tune be played specially for you
Sittin' talkin' to the boys when the dance is through
Ireland swings like I know where else can
Swings to the sound of the big show band
Park or we limbrick in village or town
Yeah, everywhere swings to the big, big sound
Ireland swings like I know where else can
Swings to the sound of the big show band
Dixie's and Freshman, the capital too
Maybe the Platterman's a band for you
