Cab Calloway
Doin’ The New Low-Down
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!

Hi-ho, doin' the new lowdown!
