Doin' The New Low-Down - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra

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!
