Here's the recording by Cannon's Jug Stompers. I think the Genius.com recording is just wrong, but I admit that one the first time around, it's hard to tell what they're singing. Every other time around, it's clear that they're singing "new way of talking." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uhRyg5jO6Q
Here's the Genius.com transcription, with my corrections.
WALK RIGHT IN (Gus Cannon/Hosea Woods)
Walk right in, set right down And baby, let your mind roll on Hey, Walk right in, stay a little while But daddy, you can't stay too long Now, everybody’s talking 'bout That [???] way of walking Do you wanna lose your mind? Hey, Walk right in, set right down And daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in, set right down And baby, let your mind roll on Walk right in, stay a little while But daddy, you can't stay too long Everybody’s talking 'bout That new way of walking Do you wanna lose your mind? Walk right in, set right down And daddy let your mind roll on
(Play it, man)
(Blow it, Cannon) - kazoo/harmonica
Walk right in, set right down Daddy, let your mind roll on Walk right in, stay a little while But daddy, you can't stay too long Now, it's everybody's talkin' 'bout That new way you're walkin’ Do you want to lose your mind? Walk right in, set right down And daddy let your mind roll on
