In the heart of Dixie, in Alabam
There's a place we love called Birmingham,
Everybody starts rockin' and sloppin' their feet
When the drums start playing that solid beat.
Everybody's dancin' and jumping too
While the music is rockin' nobody's blue
Funny little rythm with a solid sound
It's a boogie and a jump
Called the Birmingham Bounce.
Where the air is high and fine and sweet
There's a place in Dixie that's got that beat.
You don't need a moon, not even a star
You can hear the piano goin' eight to the bar
Everybody's dancing and jumping too
It's a boogie and a jump
Called the Birmingham Bounce.
Now some like to hear the big, bass fiddle,
Some like to hear the bell in the middle,
Some like to hear the saxophone,
So give a man that blows that horn.
Everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too
While the rythm is playing nobody's blue
Funny little rythm with a solid sound
It's a boogie and a jump
Called the Birmingham Bounce.
