The Troggs — Black Bottom

I woke up shouting and screaming From a dream that I had last night And I just couldn't work out the meaning for screaming But it gave me such a hell of a fright There was Boney and Clyde and Big Louie Ma Baker and Babyface too And Al Capone called me on the phone And said Presley, what you going to do? [Chorus] 'Cos everybody's doing the black bottom, black bottom Done all I can but I just can't stop 'em Doing the black bottom, black bottom They got me doing it too I said Al, let me make a suggestion He said no, let me make one to you If they don't stop by morning, I'll give you this warning I'll have a contract out on you [Chorus] Black bottom, black bottom Done all I can but I just can't stop 'em Doing the black bottom, black bottom They got me doing it too Just as the morning was breaking There was this incredible bang And as the smoke cleared, we were shaking with fear 'Cos there stood Al Capone and his gang [Chorus] And they were doing the black bottom, black bottom Done all I can but I just can't stop 'em Doing the black bottom, black bottom They got me doing it too
