Sweet and Lowdown

[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 time I'm marrying a real lady! A respectable 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
