You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowin' Dixie double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring

And now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Comin' in out of the rain you hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Oh but the horns they blowin' that sound
Way on down south, way on down south London town

You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Savin' it up for Friday night
With the Sultans... with the Sultans of Swing

And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans... yeah the Sultans play Creole

Creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
'Goodnight, now it's time to go home'
And he makes it fast with one more thing
'We are the Sultans... We are the Sultans of Swing'

Review about Sultans Of Swing

too good to be true | Reviewer: MindaugasLT | 1/23/2008

Hey! this song is not without reason in "100 Greatest Guitar Solos"! I'm sorry for my phraze, but the Sultans of Swing is fu**in' awesome. As Karolis said you can listen to this song on and on one day, and the next day, and the next month.
Brilliant!

Too Good... | Reviewer: Priyanka | 4/17/2007

I simply love the guitar pieces in this...!! one of the songs played by us during our annual office day... :) Awesome..is all I can say..!!

the best guitar solo ever! | Reviewer: KarolisLT | 4/13/2007

in my opinion, one of the best bands ever and THE best guitar magician (its not right to call Mark Knopfler just a guitarist..) EVER! you can listen to this song on and on and on... and after that out of this world solo by MK, the guitar probably had a cigarette :)
