Berlin Irving When The Folks High Up Do That Mean Lowdown Lyrics

When The Folks High Up Do That Mean Lowdown Lyrics

Lenox Avenue is known 
For doing the lowdown
But you'll find they're not alone
In doing the lowdown
Fifth Avenue's learning how
They had to fall
Fifth Avenue does it now
But that's not all

Whenever the folks high up do that mean lowdown
There is no lowdown lower than that

Whenever the swells slow down and become lowdown
There is no lowdown 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 lowdown
There is no lowdown lower than that
