Tullahoma Dancing Pizza Man

(album: Rocky Mountain Music - 1976)

Takes a wad of dough and he plops it on the table
Makes it flat and round and pours in a ladle of tomato sauce
Spreads it, red, thick, and sweet

Takes a big fistful of mozzarella cheese
Spreads it around with anchovies
Green peppers and onions and mushrooms and little ground beef

Then he puts it on the shelf, and then shoves it in the oven
With tender loving care
And he dances around while our tongues hang out
And the smell of heaven fills the air

Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Make me the juiciest pizza in the land
Hey, I'm no penny pincher
Give me that big sixteen-incher
Whoa-oh, make it to go
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man

Well, we sat in the booth less than a quarter of an hour
And out of the oven, like a giant sunflower
It came all ready and steaming with boiling cheese

Well, he took his round knife and he cut it up in slices
Put it in a box, looked at me and said the price is
$3.99, I gave him a five, I got $1.01 change

And I was tempted to eat it on the front seat
It smelled so good I could hardly drive
So now, excuse me, please, but I gotta have a piece
Of that scrumptious pizza pie

Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Make me the juiciest pizza in the land
Hey, I'm no penny pincher
Give me that big sixteen-incher
Whoa-oh, make it to go
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
