I Know What Youre Puttin’ Down Songtext
von Louis Jordan

There′s a whole lot of talk around town, about the way you carryin' yourself
There′s a whole lot of talk around town, about the way you carryin' yourself
You're jivin′ everybody in town, but baby, I know what you′re puttin' down

Everybody′s tryin' to dig you baby, everybody but me
Everybody′s tryin' to dig you, everybody but me
You′re foolin' everybody in town, but baby, I know what you're puttin′ down


You went out last night, to a dinner, a show and a dance
Ooh you went out last night, to a dinner, a show and a dance
You must have been a perfect clown, but baby, I know what you′re puttin' down

You got a ramblin′ mind, just don't wanna stay at home
Yes baby you got a ramblin′ mind, you just don't wanna stay at home
You tell me you′re visitin' all your relatives in town, but baby, I know what you're puttin′ down

You came home last night with a new hat, new dress, and a new pair o′ shoes
Yes you came home at eight o'clock last night with a new hat, a new dress, and a new pair o′shoes
You ain't working nowhere in town, so baby, I know what you′re puttin' down.
