Side B: Prompt #1

hooray for a new mix! the first prompt, as always, is the lyrics to the first song on the mix. the rest are a little more... elusive?

i love love love this first song... it's called "flat foot floogie". i have heard a few renditions of this song, but i gotta say the fats waller version is a personal favorite.

here are the lyrics to "flat foot floogie". as always, you are free to draw inspiration from this prompt in any way you choose. you can even analyze the song if you like... totally open-ended and such.
