Tallahassee Lyrics by Frank Loesser

Frank Sings Loesser (Rare and Unreleased Performances)

0

[Intro: Abe Burrows & Frank Loesser]
\nHow about you letting me do one of your songs?
\nI'd rather die
\nOh, Frank, come on
\nI know, let's do "Tallahassee," your southern-type song
\nI'll do it with a real dulcet southern accent
\nYou do it with me, come on
\nNow we'll both die
\nAh
\nMilty, let's have "Tallahassee"
\n
\n[Verse 1: Frank Loesser, Abe Burrows, Both]
\nWhen you see land
\nOut of the window of a train
\nKinda green and grassy
\nHow in the world can you complain?
\nBeneath a moon
\nYou oughta see the way it shines
\nBright beyond compare
\nThe way it shines upon the pines
\nWhen you hear blue jays
\nChirping high and sassy
\nAnd catch one sniff of southern cooking
\nHanging on the evening air
\nSupper's waiting on the table
\n
\n[Verse 2: Frank Loesser, Abe Burrows, Both]
\nWhen you see folks
\nHaving their after-dinner chats
\nAll polite and classy
\nGentlemen, all remove your hats
\nAnd every smile
\nPerfect harmony and peace
\nBids you stay and rest
\nHand the porter your valise
\nGet off that train
\nSit down and rest your chassis
\nYou're in Tal— (Manaccora)
\nThe capital city of Florida?
\nIt's the Southland at its best
\nBut Dixie at its very best
\nNo
\n
\n[Outro: Abe Burrows & Frank Loesser]
\nThank you
\nThank you, Frank
\nThat was a privilege
\nSee you all next week
\nGood night, Frank
\nGood night, Abe\n\n
