Nice Work - Sweet and Lowdown Lyrics |
Broadway production 2012 Nice Work If You Can Get It the Musical - Sweet and Lowdown Lyrics
"Sweet and Lowdown" is a song from Nice Work If You Can Get It the musical performed by Matthew Broderick (Jimmy) and Company.
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! But this time I'm not marrying some cheep 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.
ALL: (Cheer)
JIMMY: (sung) 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
ALL: For nothing could be hotter Oh,
JIMMY: that sweet and low-down! Philosopher or deacon, You simply have to weaken.
ALL: Hear those shuffling feet You can't keep your seat
JIMMY: Professor,
ALL: (exept Jimmy) Yeah
JIMMY: start your beat!
CHORUS GIRLS & 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 & GUYS: Low low down
JIMMY: I said low down
CHORUS GIRLS & GUYS: Low low down Low low down
ALL: That low down
