| 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!
|
| Another Version
|
| 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! |
