Sweet and Low Down

Sweet And Low Down - George Gershwin

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

My advice is

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

Philosopher or deacon

You simply have to weaken

Hear those shuffling feet

You can't keep your seat

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

That sweet and low down

That sweet and low down
