Ted Koehler / Jimmy McHugh Music everywhere, feet are pattin' Puttin' tempo in old Manhattan Everybody is out high hattin' Spreadin' rhythm around Everywhere you go trumpets are blarin' Drums and saxophones rip and tearin' Everybody you meet is rarin' Spreadin' rhythm around Up in Harlem in every flat they give it that zing Which according to one and all is what they call swing Those who can't afford silk and satin Dance with Gigolos who are Latin Come from Yonkers, the Bronx and Staten Spreadin' rhythm around
