That's What I Like About the South - Phil Harris[00:00:00]
Won't you come with me to Alabamy[00:00:07]
Let's go see my dear old Mammy[00:00:09]
She's fryin' eggs and boiling hammy[00:00:11]
That's what I like about the South[00:00:13]
Now there you can make no mistakey[00:00:14]
Where those nerves are never shaky[00:00:16]
Ought to taste her layer cakey[00:00:18]
That's what I like about the South[00:00:20]
She's got baked ribs and candied yams[00:00:21]
Those sugar-cured Virginia hams[00:00:23]
Basement full of those berry jams[00:00:25]
An' that's what I like about the South[00:00:27]
Hot corn bread black-eyed peas[00:00:28]
You can eat as much as you please[00:00:30]
'Cause it's never out of season[00:00:33]
That's what I like about the South[00:00:34]
Aahhh don't take one have two[00:00:35]
There's dark brown and chocolate too[00:00:37]
Suits me they must suit you[00:00:39]
'Cause that's what I like about the South[00:00:41]
Well it's way way down where the cane grows tall[00:00:50]
Down where they say Y'all[00:00:52]
Walk on in with that Southern drawl[00:00:54]
'Cause that's what I like about the South[00:00:55]
Down where they have those pretty queens[00:00:57]
Keep a-dreamin' those dreamy dreams[00:00:59]
Well let's sip that absinthe in New Orleans[00:01:01]
That's what I like about the South[00:01:03]
Here come old Bob with all the news[00:01:11]
Got the boxback coat and the button shoes[00:01:13]
But he's all caught up with his union dues[00:01:15]
An' that's what I like about the South[00:01:17]
Here come old Roy down the street[00:01:18]
Ho can't you hear those tappin' feet[00:01:20]
He would rather sleep than eat[00:01:22]
An' that's what I like about the South[00:01:23]
Now every time I pass your door[00:01:33]
You act like you don't want me no more[00:01:34]
Why don't you shake that head and sigh[00:01:36]
And I'll go walkin' right on by[00:01:38]
On on on and on and on[00:01:40]
Honey when you tell me that you love me[00:01:43]
Then how come you close your eyes[00:01:45]
Did I tell you 'bout the place called Doo-wah-diddy[00:01:47]
It ain't no town and it ain't no city[00:01:48]
It's just awful small but awful pretty[00:01:50]
That's Doo-wah-diddy[00:01:52]
Well I didn't come here to criticise[00:02:01]
I'm not here to sympathise[00:02:03]
But don't tell me those no-good lies[00:02:05]
'Cause a lying gal I do despise[00:02:06]
You love me like I love you[00:02:08]
Send me fifty P-D-Q[00:02:10]
Roses are red and violets are pink[00:02:12]
If I don't get all fifty I don't think[00:02:13]
She's got backbones and butter beans[00:02:22]
Ham hocks and turnip greens[00:02:24]
You and me and New Orleans[00:02:26]
An' that's what I like about the South[00:02:28]
