Mame Jerry Herman (Ft. Charles Braswell & Original Broadway Cast of Mame)

[COMPANY]
You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame
You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame
You've got the banjos strumming
And plunking out a tune to beat the band
The whole plantation's humming
Since you brought Dixie back to Dixieland
You make the cotton easy to pick, Mame
You give my old mint julep a kick, Mame
Whoever thought a Yankee would
Put our little Dixie belles 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 cakewalk back into style, Mame
You make the weeping 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

[COMPANY]
You make the old magnolia tree bud, Mame
You make camellias bloom in the mud, Mame
You make the bougainvillea turn purple
At the mention of your name
We're baking pecan pies again
Tonight the chicken fries again
This time the South will rise again
