Say, Mandy Green, that Darktown
queen,
Never seems to hold her man;
Or controls, so I am told;
Made them all turn on the fan;
But she's changed her mind, and
how!
This is how she courts 'em now:
She says, "How ya feelin'? What's
your hurry?"
De-bow, de-bow, de-bow.
"How ya feelin'? What's your hurry?
Tell me who you're wild about now?"
"You know, I need someone that's
sweet and nice,
Can send my soul straight to paradise!"
"How ya feelin'? And what's your
hurry?
De-bow, de-bow, de-bow.
"Oh, how ya feelin'? What's your
hurry?"
Be-datn, datn, batn, doom-ba.
"How ya feelin'? What's your hurry?
Tell me who you're wild about now?"
You know, I've been to France, and
I've been to Rome;
Nothing there that I can't get
at home.
"Oh, how ya feelin'? What's your
hurry?"
De-bow, de-bow, de-bow.
