>From Bill Gunter:

Never heard the lyrics that way before. I've always sung 'em this way:

"Talk of the town, easin' around, they're pickin' 'em up and layin' 'em
down!"

Also, The Firehouse Fake Book, along with several other, have the lyrics
like that.

Cheers,

>From Ron L.:
 Green and Brown were noted entertainers, I believe and probably champion
Cake walk dancers.

In addition I found info that it's not "green and brown", but "teasin' 
brown"....
All very interesting.
