Lyrics
Chorus:
All the boys keep looking down, down, down
As the girls go marching by
And there are two good reasons why
Here and there, see them stare
At each peachy pair
All the boys keep looking down, down, down
But they never see the ground
There’s quite a change since Grandma’s day
Of that you will allow
The skirts are getting shorter
And the men look longer now
Left, right, day, night, all over town
They’re looking down, down, down
Chorus:
All the boys keep looking down, down, down
As the girls go marching by
And there are two good reasons why
Roll ’em high, roll ’em low
Give them all a show
All the boys keep looking down, down, down
But they never see the ground
For many years the old boys
Used to sit in bald head row
They stand on every corner now
Why pay to see a show
Left, right, day, night, all over town
They’re looking down, down, down
