"Calabassas!"

Copyright 2004, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

CALABASSAS!...Yes, she passes this way 'bout a quarter past nine;

CALABASSAS!...Fills every glass with the very best sassafras wine;

CALABASSAS!...Serves up demitasse and beignet, she's a stately belle;

CALABASSAS!...My Mississippi mademoiselle.

 

So for you, sir, Bogaloosa, that's your drop-off rendezvous;

Operettas, muffellettas...it's all there, waiting for you!

 

CALABASSAS!...She's the classy little number at the 7th bell;

CALABASSAS!...Delta Lady, stay a spell!

Oh, CALABASSAS!...the Mississippi mademoiselle!

00:00 / 02:46
