I got a frown, you got a frown
All God`s chillun got a frown on their face
Take no chance with that frown
A song and a dance, turn it upside down
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, zazoo, zazoo
All God`s chillun got rhythm, all God`s chillun got swing
Maybe haven`t got money, maybe haven`t got shoes
All God`s chillun got rhythm for to push away their blues
All God`s chillun got trouble, troubles do-on`t mean a thing
When they start to go hoh-hoh-hoh
The old troubles bound to go `way, say
All God`s chillun got swing
All God`s children got rhythm
Da-da-do-day, ra-do-day, ra-do-da-do, da-da, da-da-day...
Doh-da-do-day, ra-do-day, ra-do, da-do, da-do-day
Maybe haven`t got money or maybe haven`t got shoes
All God`s chillun got rhythm for to push, for to push
For to push away their blues
All God`s chilldren got trouble, troubles do-on`t mean a thing
When they start to go hoh-hoh-hoh
The old troubles bound to go `way, say
All God`s chillun got swing
Swing it high, swing it low, hell, let `em go, hah-hah, go
Swing it up, swing it down, he-ell, let it go, oh-hoh, yes
Ain`t got money, ain`t got shoes
All God`s chillun got rhythm
For to push away their dog-gone weary blues
Three cheers for the red, white and blue
Swing it up to the sky, don`t ask how, don`t ask why
Brother, go-go-oh-hoh, blow-blow, `way-hay-ay... the-em
Them dog-gone, shoo `em now
Swing - swing - swing...
