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, and 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

Ooh, Mame

Ooh, 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're special, fascinational

Groove do be inspirational

We think you're just sensational, Mame
