[Verse:]
|
Lenox Avenue is known
|
For doing the low down
|
But you'll find they're not alone
|
In doing the low down
|
Fifth Avenue's learning how
|
They had to fall
|
Fifth Avenue does it now
|
But that's not all
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Whenever the folks high-up do that mean low down
|
There is no low down lower than that
|
|
Whenever the swells slow down and become low down
|
There is no low down lower than that
|
|
You may believe it or not
|
When they start getting hot
|
There is no Hottentot
|
That's hotter than that
|
|
So you can lay your dough down when they go low down
|
There is no low down lower than that
|
|
