Around Here Lyrics

Well, I couldn't help but overhear you talkin' to Mary Lou

And when she shot you down I knew that something was wrong with you

You're leaving Mississippi and your fast talking just won't go

If you wanna win her love you gotta take it nice and slow.

You gotta say yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady

And open up the door for her take a little time

Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near

Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night

'Cause that's the thing to do, around here.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I hate to tell you buddy but you're going about this all wrong

Go trade your suit to jeans and boots and put an old Stettson on

Give a little wink and a smile when you tip your hat

And you're only a few steps away from a girl like that.

You gotta say yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady

And open up the door for her take a little time

Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near

Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night

'Cause that's the thing to do, around here.

Now if I was up in New York city

I hope you do the same for me

So listen up friend I'll tell you again

You're down here where we say.

Yes ma'am, no ma'am, treat her like a lady

And open up the door for her take a little time

Well, get to know her better before you can try to hold her near

Be polite, ask her just right, if you want to get lucky on a Saturday night

'Cause that's the thing to do, around here...
