Ray Conniff - Mame lyrics

You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame You've got that banjoes strummin' And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band The whole plantation's hummin' Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame Who ever thought a Yankee would put A little Dixie mouse to shame You've made us feel alive again You've given us the drive again To make the South revive again, Mame Beauregard Burnside: 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 bill of fare at the Ritz, Mame You came, you saw, you conquered And absolutely nothing is the same You're special fascination'll prove to be Inspirational We think you're just sensational, Mame Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame You've got that banjoes strummin' And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band The whole plantation's hummin' Since you brought Dixie back to Dixie land You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame Who ever thought a Yankee would put A little Dixie mouse to shame You've made us feel alive again You've given us the drive again To make the South revive again, Mame Mame! Mame! Mame! Mame!
