[Harry Connick, Jr. - To Love The Language lyrics]
To love the language you got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
Ax' ya "x" what talks in tongues
Say: "never mo' neither me"
To love the language you got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
Stayin by my mama's in slippers and pajamas
Where there's always somethin good to eat
Bettin strawberries honey and cherries
And pecan-pies oh so sweet
With a dew rag on my brow
Jasmine, wysteria and fleur-de-lis
To love the language you got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
If you won't work fo' a livin
And live life leisurely
Pull up a screen po-ch
Flop out in a rockin chair
To love the language you got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
