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
