The Wolfe Tones
Swing a Banker
Hey, won't you come and dance with me?
Why not take a chance and see?
Don't be a chicken; come and dance with me
We're dancing to the piper's tune
Now we're dancing on the moon
Chicken, chicken, come and dance with me

[Chorus]
Swing a banker, turn around
Clap your hands, get ready to fly
One step forward, two steps back
I never knew that a chicken could fly
Clap your wings, get ready to fly
Spread your wings and we're off flyin' high

We're dancing to the tunе that the old cow died on
Dancing to the tunе of the chicken in the barn
Dancing to the tune with the cats on the fiddle
Everybody's calling out of tune
We're dancing with the man jumping over the moon
(Hey!)

Nama nama nama na
Nama nama nama na
Nama nama nama na
Nama nama nama
Now, everybody's gotta dance
Come on out and take a chance
Chicken, chicken, come and dance with me
Everybody's on their feet
Dancing to the mighty beat
We're on a merry dance, won't you dance with me?

[Chorus]
Swing a banker, turn around
Clap your hands and be ready to fly
One step forward, two steps back
I never knew that a chicken could fly
Flap your wings, get ready to fly
Spread your wings and we're off flyin' high

We're dancing to the tune that the old cow died on
Dancing to the tune of the chicken in the barn
Dancing to the tune with the cats on the fiddle
Everybody's calling out of tune
We're dancing with the man jumping over the moon
(Hey!)

Nama nama nama na
Nama nama nama na

[Chorus]
Swing a banker, turn around
Clap your hands and be ready to fly
One step forward, two steps back
I never knew that a chicken could fly
Flap your wings, get ready to fly
Spread your wings and we're off flyin' high
We're dancing to the tune that the old cow died on
Dancing to the tune of the chicken in the barn
Dancing to the tune with the cats on the fiddle
Everybody's calling out of tune
We're dancing with the man jumping over the moon
(Hey!)
