Lyrics:
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!
Philosopher or deacon,
You simply have to weaken.
Hear those shuffling feet --
You can't keep your seat --

Professor, start your beat!
Come along, get in it --
You'll love the syncopation!
The minute they begin it,
You're shouting to the nation:
"Blow that sweet and low-down!"

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
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!
Philosopher or deacon,
You simply have to weaken.
Hear those shuffling feet --
You can't keep your seat --

Professor, start your beat!
Come along, get in it --
You'll love the syncopation!
The minute they begin it,
You're shouting to the nation:
"Blow that sweet and low-down!"
