Tuxedo Junction
Way down south in Birmingham
I mean south in Alabam'
An old place where people go
To dance the night away
They all drive or walk for miles
To get jive, that southern style
It's an old jive that makes you want
To dance 'til break of day
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long, town, I'm heading for
Tuxedo Junction now
Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where I belong
Way down south in Birmingham
I mean south in Alabam'
An old place where people go
To dance the night away
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long, town, I'm heading for
Tuxedo Junction now
Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where I belong
Right back where I belong
Right back where I belong
Come on, take me back to Bourbon land
I want to go, I want to go to Tuxedo Junction
Hey Daddy drop me off at Tuxedo Junction
Way down, down south, yeah
Come on and take me
Come on and take me, take me
Come on and take me
Come on and take me
Come on and take me
In Tuxedo Junction
Way, way down south in Birmingham
I mean Alabam'
I mean Tuxedo Junction
Woo, I dig that Tuxedo
Oh, I dig that Tuxedo
Tuxedo Junction
Everybody off
I mean south in Alabam'
An old place where people go
To dance the night away
They all drive or walk for miles
To get jive, that southern style
It's an old jive that makes you want
To dance 'til break of day
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long, town, I'm heading for
Tuxedo Junction now
Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where I belong
Way down south in Birmingham
I mean south in Alabam'
An old place where people go
To dance the night away
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long, town, I'm heading for
Tuxedo Junction now
Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where I belong
Right back where I belong
Right back where I belong
Come on, take me back to Bourbon land
I want to go, I want to go to Tuxedo Junction
Hey Daddy drop me off at Tuxedo Junction
