LET THE LITTLE GIRL LIMBO
(Barry Mann / Cynthia Weil)


Doris Day (with Jack Nitsche & His Orch.) - 1963



The party really swung that night
But I didn't know a soul
And them someone said let's have fun
Bring out that Limbo pole

They pushed right by me onto the floor
And I felt so left out
Till I felt someone take my hand
And heard that someone shout

Let the little girl Limbo
Let the little girl Limbo
Let the little girl Limbo
Oh, you know she can go so low

And as they all let me through
He said you know what to do
Little girl you can Limbo
I believe in you

First I Limbo'd high
(Too high, you gotta go lower)
Then I began to try
(Nice try, but you gotta go lower)
Then I went so low
(So low, no one ever went lower)
(Oh, that girl can go)
Watch me now!

Hey, Limbo time!
Come on ev'rybody, let's Limbo
Little lower now, Limbo time

I go to lots of parties now
And I always feel so proud
'Cause he's with me and I can see
Now I'm in with the crowd

And when that Limbo music begins
We both smile with delight
'Cause ev'rybody begins to shout
The way he did that night

Let the little girl Limbo
Let the little girl Limbo
Let the little girl Limbo
Oh, you know she can go so low

And as they all let me through
He said you know what to do
Little girl you can Limbo
I believe in you

First I Limbo'd high
(Too high, you gotta go lower)
Then I began to try
(Nice try, but we know you go lower)
Then I went so low
(So low, no one ever gone lower)
(Oh, that girl can go)
Watch me now!
(No one goes that low)
Lower, lower now
(She puts on a show)
Look out, Chubby, here I come
(Oh, that girl can go)
(No one goes that low)
Whatever happened to..........FADE
