Jerry Herman — Mame from Mame

[JERRY HERMAN] 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 strummin' And plunkin' out a tune to beat the band The whole plantation's hummin' 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 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 nothin' is the same Your special fascination'll Prove to be inspirational I think you're just sensational, Mame Mame Mame
