Music everywhere, feet are pattin'
Puttin' tempo in old manhattan
Everybody is (spoken) out hi' hattin
Spreadin' rhythm around
Everywhere you go trumpets blarin'
Drums and saxaphones rippin' and tearin'
Everybody you meet is rarin'
Spreadin' rhythm around
Up in Harlem flats, all of the cats give it that thing
Which when your in step
All of the hep people call swing
Those who can't afford silk or satin
Dames with gigolos who are latin
Come from Yonkers, the Bronx, or Staten
Spreadin' rhythm around
