(intro F C x6)
F C
I fell asleep amongst the boulders strewn between
F C
Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr and I saw in a dream
F C
Your charmless associates in a stretch limousine
F C
They were plunging headlong into a ravine
Bb C F
And your evening of swing had been cancelled
Bb C F
Your evening of swing had been cancelled
Bb C F Bb C F C F C
Your evening of swing had been cancelled, your evening of swing.
F C
Came the behemoth, seven score and nine
F C
To rescue all the children from their parents on the line
F C
And they took them to a crash site, unfurled a ball of twine
F C
And tied a bunch of flowers around the speed limit sign
F C
No more the Multiplex stood in its stead
F C
Pleasure grounds with maze in the shape of a sled
F C
And outside "The Gielgud" a neon sign read:
F C
"Equus On The Buses" starring Mr Ed
Bb C F
And your evening of swing had been cancelled
Bb C F
Your evening of swing had been cancelled
Bb C F Bb C (F C x10)
Your evening of swing had been cancelled, your evening of swing.
F C
And a plague fell upon the Retail Park
F C
And a storm broke over Henman Hill
F C
And the christening party arsehole who hitherto had blurred
F C
My conception of man as nature's final word
F C
Was fleeing from the lava, his SatNav pleading thus:
F C
"I'm not from round here mate, you should've got the bus"
F C
Enter then a real rat pack, millions pouring in
F C
And Ezekiel punched Dan Brown and the knights are drawing in
Bb C F
And your evening of swing had been cancelled
Bb C F
Your evening of swing had been cancelled
Bb C F Bb C F C F C F
Your evening of swing had been cancelled, your evening of swing.
