Captain, Tennille - Dixie Hummingbird lyrics
[Captain, Tennille - Dixie Hummingbird lyrics]
Okay here's a song about
My sweetheart down south
Now you might ask, "is he a fox?" oh
Shut your mouth! Now his mama taught him to
Be seen and not heard
So, when he's having a good time
Oh he coo's like a bird
Well, he hails from Atlanta
He's got a soft southern style
And the way he's put together, holy mackrel
Honey chile
He don't like conversation
No he's never been one to chat
But when he holds me close, Good Lord
He knows exactly where it's at
He gets down to the nitty gritty
He don't waste a lot of time
We start to spoon and pretty
Soon he's humming "Georgia on My Mind"
And then he makes those kinky
Little sounds in my ear
They're not in any dictionary
But it's coming through loud and clear
When my baby says he loves
Me without a single word
He's my dixie hummingbird
Well now, he hardly ever speaks
I guess he never finds the need
But, you must admit that a
Thousand words don't stack up to the deed
He lets his actions do the talking
And he tries so hard to please
And he's mighty fine
He's all mine and I'm his main squeeze
Yeah, he's really saying something
With a language all his own
Well, he may not know the words
But he can really hum along
And then he makes those kinky
Little sounds in my ear
They're not in any dictionary
But he's coming through loud and clear
When my baby says he loves
Me without a single word
He's my dixie hummingbird
When my baby says he loves
Me without a single word
He's my Dixie, he's my Dixie Hummingbird
My sweetheart down south
Now you might ask, "is he a fox?" oh
Shut your mouth! Now his mama taught him to
Be seen and not heard
So, when he's having a good time
Oh he coo's like a bird
Well, he hails from Atlanta
He's got a soft southern style
And the way he's put together, holy mackrel
Honey chile
He don't like conversation
No he's never been one to chat
But when he holds me close, Good Lord
He knows exactly where it's at
He gets down to the nitty gritty
He don't waste a lot of time
We start to spoon and pretty
Soon he's humming "Georgia on My Mind"
And then he makes those kinky
Little sounds in my ear
They're not in any dictionary
But it's coming through loud and clear
When my baby says he loves
Me without a single word
He's my dixie hummingbird
Well now, he hardly ever speaks
I guess he never finds the need
But, you must admit that a
Thousand words don't stack up to the deed
He lets his actions do the talking
And he tries so hard to please
And he's mighty fine
He's all mine and I'm his main squeeze
Yeah, he's really saying something
With a language all his own
Well, he may not know the words
But he can really hum along
And then he makes those kinky
Little sounds in my ear
They're not in any dictionary
But he's coming through loud and clear
When my baby says he loves
Me without a single word
He's my dixie hummingbird
When my baby says he loves
Me without a single word
He's my Dixie, he's my Dixie Hummingbird
