doin the new low down

Cab Calloway

Listen good folks:
It isn t alcohol,
No yaller gal at all,
Thrill me, thrill me with the pep I ve got!

I got a pair of feet that have found that lowdown beat,
Lowdown, down around, the spot that s hot,
Have no peace with losing my lease on livin ,
Here s the how, I m tellin you now, to givin :

Make em play that crazy thing again,
I ve got to do that lazy swing again,
Hi-ho, doin the new lowdown!

Got my feet to misbehaving now,
Got a soul that s not for saving now,
Hi-ho, doin the new lowdown!

That dancin demon, he has my feet in a trance,
Cause when I m dreamin , folks, I go right into that dance!

Once you hear that haunting strain to it,
I ll bet my life you ll go insane to it,
Hi-ho, doin the new lowdown!

Hi-ho, doin the new lowdown!

Oh, make me play that crazy thing again,
I ve got to do that lazy swing again,
He-de-ho, doin the new lowdown!

I ve got my feet to misbehaving now,
Got a soul, not for saving now,
Hi-de-hay, doin the new lowdown!

That dancin demon has my feet in a trance,
Cause when I m dreamin I go right into that dance!

Once you hear that haunting strain to it,
God, I ll bet you ll go insane to it,
Hi-ho, doin the new lowdown!
