You sure have a nice easy style,
you know, oh, I don't know Dinah
I'm gonna be like Bing and
Frank
and those other guys.
I gotta get to sing with a gal
once in a while
You know being often
sings with Peggy Lee
and Frank does a number with Jane
Powell.
I just gotta get me a gal
Well, I know a gal
who would just love to sing with
you, Woody
You mean yes
Coincidence we just happen to have here
the orchestration we used
when we recorded this song on
Columbia the other day.
It's from Paramount's
forthcoming production
Variety Girl.
That's, uh, Tallahassee, of course.
IUP. Oh, no.
Oh, won't you listen,
all you people on the southbound train?
Oh, won't you listen to my
friendly advice
about a quarter af ter seven
we'll be pulling into paradise
when you see land out of the window
of a train kind of green and grassy
how in the world can you complain
beneath the moon
you ought to see the way it shines
right beyond compare
The way it shines upon the pines
when you hear blue jays
chirpin' high and sassy.
And catch one sniff of southern cookin'
hangin' on the evening air.
Supper's waitin' on the table
when you see four havin'
their after -dinner chat.
All polite and
capital city of Florida
An d the Southland at its best
For Dixie at its very best
When you see folks
Having their after -dinner chat
All polite and classy
Gentlemen all remove their hats
And every smile,
perfect harmony and peace
Bids you stay and rest,
and the porter you believe
Get off that train,
sit down and rest your chassis
You're in Tallahassee,
the capital city of Florida
And the stock land, an d it's fair
For Dixie and it's very fair
