Free Five Quick Strokes French Gypsy Jazz Swing Song

Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hold your chin up just two seconds more
The waiter dropped a tray across the floor
You tap your foot and check your leather strap
I got charcoal running all across my lap
The lunch crowd moves like water in a pan
Don't reach for your coat yet if you can

[Chorus]
Stay right there, don't move an inch
I'm catching your look before you flinch
The whole street turns but you stay still
Don't put down that paper bill
Five quick strokes and we are done
You are my only painted one

[Verse 2]
A baker pushes past the doorway frame
I haven't even signed your full first name
You say my hands are black with dirty ink
You say I never pause to stop and think
Your red coat is ready by your side
You got no patience left inside

[Chorus]
Stay right there, don't move an inch
I'm catching your look before you flinch
The whole street turns but you stay still
Don't put down that paper bill
Five quick strokes and we are done
You are my only painted one

[Bridge]
(Wait for me)
The afternoon is slipping fast
(Wait for me)
I know this mood can never last
Just turn your head toward the light
And we can leave this place tonight

[Chorus]
Stay right there, don't move an inch
I'm catching your look before you flinch
The whole street turns but you stay still
Don't put down that paper bill
Five quick strokes and we are done
You are my only painted one

[Outro]
Put your gloves back on the table
Hold on tight while I am able
One last line upon your cheek
Don't walk out, don't speak
(Don't speak)
