Savoy, the home of sweet romance, Savoy, it wins you at a glance;
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance.
Your form, just like a clingin' vine, Your lips, as warm and sweet as wine,
Your cheek, so soft and close to mine, divine.
How my heart is singin', While the band is swingin'!
Never tired of rompin', An' Stompin' with you, at the Savoy.
What joy, a perfect holiday, Savoy, where we can glide and sway;
Savoy, there let me stomp away, with you.
