Black Bottom - Original - The Troggs

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?

'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

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

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
