You coax the blues right out of the horn,
You charm the husk right off of the corn,
You've got the band just strummin' and
plonkin' out a tune to beat the band.
The whole plantation's hummin'
since you brought Dixie back to Dixieland.
You give my old mint julep a kick,
would put our little Dixie Bells
You've made us feel alive again
You've given us the drive again
To make the South revive again,
This Saville -y harmony, catfish and tripe
You've made the price of tobacco rise
The old watermelon is suddenly ripe
And down on the levee a beautiful bevy
Of crinoline ladies has flocked
The way that they're squealin',
that Robert E. Lee must adopt.
The strummin' and ringin',
it's startin' to get out of hand,
You make the weepin' willow tree smile,
Your skin is Dixie satin,
there's revel in your manner
You may be from Manhattan,
You make our black -eyed peas
seem like the Bill affair at the Ritz,
at the mention of your name.
You're special, fascinational,
prove to be inspirational,
I think you're just sensational!
