1938 – Slim Gaillard / Slam Stewart / Bud Green
Oh, the flat foot floogie with a floy, floy
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy
Floy doy, floy doy, floy doy
Yeah, yeah yeah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah!
Whenever your cares are chronic
Just tell the world, “go hang,”
You’ll find a greater tonic
If you go on swingin’ with the gang!
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy
Floy, floy, floy, yeah!
Send me on out there!
[Shouting and muttering to the band.]
Whenever your cares are chronic
Just tell the world, “go hang,”
You’ll find a greater tonic
If you go on stumblin’ with the gang!
Hey, hey, hey, yes, yes!
Well, all right then; get those floy-floys straight!
