Above: Label image of Decca 1876, recorded on 6/10/38 and released in 1938. The flip side is "Caravan", an instrumental by The Mills Brothers that has "no musical instruments or mechanical devices used... other than one guitar", and the guitar is hardly heard!"The Flat Foot Floogee" here is interpreted as a "floozie" (slang for a prostitute who attracts customers by walking the streets). The lyric "with the floy floy" indicates this floogee has a venerial desease! Wonder how many people listening to this hit record knew what the lyrics meant?
