Hot big band blazes a path for humorous male crooner lyrics. Clever metaphors poke fun at salespeople and being promised that deal that’s just too good to be true. Medium up-tempo swing.

| Lyrics: | Have I got a deal for you Have I got a deal for you You can’t go broke; there’s no mirrors or smoke And you could score big too Now it will only set you back a few It’s a one-of-a-kind; it’ll blow your mind If you only knew Have I got a deal Yes the market’s been down They’re selling flesh by the pound Don’t worry ‘bout that Sure the motor won’t start But it’s just a simple part Don’t worry ‘bout that Now the people upstairs are nice And the people downstairs are never home Well the minute that I saw you I knew Now here’s someone that knows what to do Have I got a deal for you Have I got a deal for you Have I got a deal for you It’s solid through and through It’s the chance of a life; better not tell the wife That’s the best thing to do But there’s others waiting in the cue Could be one of those things that turns pawns into kings I’d be lying if it wasn’t true Have I got a deal Yes the traffic is bad But it’s not the worst you’ve had C’mon If you sign here on the line Everything will be just fine C’mon Now you tell two friends And then they tell two friends C’mon and make your dreams come true It’ll only set you back a few Have I got a deal for you The parking is free It’s included in the fee So don’t worry ‘bout that I’ve got to tell you straight You really shouldn’t wait Tomorrow is too late Now you tell two friends And then they tell two friends It only hurts a second or two Just as soon as the card goes through Have I got a deal for you |

Buddy Moncrief
Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles east of Tom Waits, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.
On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.
