Fra en radio strømmer gamle melodier
Og jeg våkner opp og spør meg hva som skjer
Er det bare drøm og fantasier
Når jeg føler at det swinger mer og mer?
La det swinge, la det rock ‘n’ roll
La det swinge til du mister all kontroll
Oh hi oh…
La det swinge, la det rock ‘n’ roll
La musikken gå, la rytmen aldri stanse
Kan du kjenne at du lever her og nå?
Føler du hvor gjerne du vil danse?
Oh… og hører du at hjertet slår og slår?
La det swinge, la det rock ‘n’ roll
La det swinge til du mister all kontroll
Oh hi oh…
La det swinge, la det rock ‘n’ roll
Føler du hvor gjerne du vil danse?
Hører du at hjertet slår og slår
Og slår?
La det swinge, la det rock ‘n’ roll
La det swinge til du mister all kontroll
Oh hi oh…
La det swinge, la det rock ‘n’ roll
La det swinge, la det rock ‘n’ roll
La det swinge til du mister all kontroll
Oh hi oh…
La det swinge, la det rock ‘n’…
Swinge, la det roll ‘n’…
From a radio old melodies flow
And I wake up and ask myself what’s going on
Is this only dream and fantasies
When I feel that it’s swinging more and more?
Let it swing, let it rock ‘n’ roll
Let it swing until you lose all control
Oh hi ho…
Let it swing, let it rock ‘n’ roll
Let the music live, never let the rhythm stop
Can you feel that you’re alive right here and now?
Do you feel how much you want to dance?
Oh… and do you hear your heart beating on and on?
Let it swing, let it rock ‘n’ roll
Let it swing until you lose all control
Oh hi ho…
Let it swing, let it rock ‘n’ roll
Do you feel how much you want to dance?
Do you hear your heart beating on and on
And on?
Let it swing, let it rock ‘n’ roll
Let it swing until you lose all control
Oh hi ho…
Let it swing, let it rock ‘n’ roll
Let it swing, let it rock ‘n’ roll
Let it swing until you lose all control
Oh hi ho…
Let it swing, let it rock ‘n’…
Swing, let it roll ‘n’…
