Doin' The New Low Down

Peter Ecklund · Other Songs - Peter Ecklund

It isn't alcohol no yaller gal at all

thrills me fills me with the pep I've got

I've got a pair of feet

That found a low down beat

Low down, down around a spot that's hot!

I've got no peace

I'm losin' my lease on livin'

Here's the how?

I'm tellin' you now to give in!

Oh, make 'em play that crazy thing again

I've gotta do that lazy swing again.

Heigh, ho, doin' the new low down.

I got my feet to misbehavin' now,

I got a soul that's not for savin' now.

Heigh, ho, doin' the new low down.

That dancin' demon has my feet in a trance,

'cause while I'm dreamin'

I go into that dance

And once you hear the haunting strain to it,

I'd like to bet you'll go insane to it.

Heigh, ho, doin' the new low down.
