Chez un brocanteur j'ai trouvé pour trois fois rien
Dix lots d'un kilo de vieux disques américains
Comme j'hésitais, le marchand s'est approché
Sur un vieux phono il a posé le premier
Et il m'a dit : "Je les garantis
Ils sont de l'époque du bon temps du swing"
Moi j'aime la musique, mais pas les antiquités
J'allais m'en aller quand un air m'a accroché
Sans permission mes doigts ont claqué
Ça balançait au bon temps du swing
Swing swing swing
J'ai compris pourquoi mon père
Ne jurait que par les Andrew Sisters
Swing swing swing
J'ai compris pourquoi ma mère
Soupirait en parlant de Fred Astaire
Swing swing swing
Pas si fous les parents
D'avoir eu vingt ans au bon temps du swing
Et de disque en disque
Et de chanson en musique
Comme Christophe Colomb, je découvrai l'Amérique
De Bing Crosby à la voix douce de sirop
A celle de rocaille de Louis Armstrong dit Satchmo
De Nat King Cole à Judy Garland
Ça balançait au bon temps du swing
Swing swing swing
J'ai compris pourquoi mon père
Soupirait au nom de Ginger Roger
Swing swing swing
J'ai compris pourquoi ma mère
Se pâmait en parlant de Glenn Miller
Swing swing swing
Pas si fous les parents
D'avoir eu vingt ans au bon temps du swing
J'ai pris tous les disques et acheté le phono
Depuis chaque soir je donne des concerts rétro
Je joue des tramps sur des cartons à chapeaux
J'ai l'impression quelques heures durant
D'avoir vingt ans au bon temps du swing
Venez danser
Avec moi
Venez rêver
Avec moi
Comme au bon vieux temps du swing

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
