Mame

(album: In A Broadway Bag (Mame) - 1966)

You coax the blues right
Out of the horn, Mame
You charm the husk right
Off of the corn, Mame

You've got those
Banjoes strumming
And plunking out a tune
To beat the band
The whole plantation is humming
Since you brought Dixie
Back to Dixieland

Yes, you make the cotton
Easy to pick, Mame
You give my old
Mint Julep a kick, Mame

You make the old magnolia tree
Blossom at the mention
Of your name
You made us feel alive again
And giving us the drive again
To make the South revive again
Mame

Mame
Mame

You've got those
Banjoes strumming
And plunking out a tune
To beat the band
Yes, the whole plantation is humming
Since you brought Dixie
Back to Dixieland

You make the cotton
Easy to pick, Mame
You give my old Mint Julep
A kick, kick, kick, Mame

You make the old magnolia tree
Blossom at the mention
Of your name
You're special, fascinational
Groove dooby inspirational
We think you're just sensational
Mame
