sweet and lowdown - george gershwin & ira gershwin lyrics lyrics

Loading...

[chorus girls]
grab a cab and go down
to where the band is playing
where milk and honey flow down
where ev’ry one is saying:
“blow that sweet and low+down!”

busy as a beaver
you’ll dance until you totter
you’re sure to get the fever
for nothing could be hotter
oh, that sweet and low+down!

[jeannie, spoken]
all right peoples, peoples listen up! now today is a very sad occasion, ’cause tomorrow morning, our own jimmy winter is getting’ married for the third time!

[jimmy, spoken]
forth time! only this time i’m not marrying some cheap chorus girl!

[chorus girls, spoken]
hey!

[jimmy, spoken]
oh sorry cheap chorus girls

[chorus girls, spoken]
it’s okay, oh it’s fine… etc
[jimmy, spoken]
this timе i’m marrying a real lady! a respectablе lady! one who’s never even been arrested!

[chorus girls]
(cheer)

[jimmy]
there’s a cabaret in this city i can recommend to you
peps you up like electricity when the band is blowing blue
they play nothing classic, oh no! down there;
they crave nothing else but the low+down there
if you need a tonic and the need is chronic
if you’re in a crisis, my advice is

grab a cab and go down

[chorus girls]
grab a cap and go down

[jimmy]
to where the band is playin’

[chorus girls]
where the band is playin’

[jimmy]
where milk and honey flow down
where ev’ry one is saying
“blow
[chorus girls]
blow

[jimmy]
that sweet and low+down!”

[chorus girls]
low low down

[jimmy]
busy as a beaver

[chorus girls]
busy as a beaver

[jimmy]
you’ll dance until you totter

[chorus girls]
dance until you totter

[jimmy]
you’re sure to get the fever

[jimmy & chorus girls]
for nothing could be hotter
oh
[jimmy]
that sweet and low+down!

philosopher or deacon
you simply have to weaken

[jimmy & chorus girls]
hear those shuffling feet
you can’t keep your seat

[jimmy]
professor

[chorus girls & society guys]
yeah

[jimmy]
start your beat!

[chorus girls & society guys]
come along, get in it love the syncopation!
the minute they begin it
you’re shouting to the nation oh

[jimmy]
that sweet and low+down

[chorus girls & society guys]
low low down

[jimmy]
i said low down

[chorus girls & society guys]
low low down
low low down

[jimmy, chorus girls & society guys]
that low down
