Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass - Mame lyrics

rate me

You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame

You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame

You've got the banjoes strummin'

And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band

The whole plantation's hummin'

Since you brought Dixie back to Dixieland

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've made us feel alive again

You've given us the drive again

You make the south revive again, Mame

You've brought the cake-walk back into style, Mame

You make the weepin' willow tree smile, Mame

Your skin is Dixie satin

There's rebel in your manner and your speech

You may be from Manhattan

But Georgia never had a sweeter peach

You make our black-eyed peas and our grits, Mame

Seem like the Sill of Fare at the Ritz, Mame

You came, you saw, you conquered

And absolutely nothing is the same

Your special fascination'll prove to be inspirational

We think you're just sensational, Mame
