I know What You're Putting Down (10-10-46) - 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
