Birmingham Bounce

In the heart of dixie down in Alabam

There's a place we love called Birmingham

Everybody starts a-rockin' and a-shufflin' their feet

When a drum starts playin' that solid beat

Now everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too

When the music starts a-rockin' nobody's blue

A funny little rhythm with a solid sound

A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce

Now some like a horn with a valve in the middle

And some like the beat of a big bare spiddle

If you're a-dancin' in the moonlight or a-dancin' in the dark

We all like to dance to an old french harp

Now everybody's dancin' and a-jumpin' too

When the music starts a-rockin' nobody's blue

A funny little rhythm with a solid sound

A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce

If you like your music going eight to the bar

I know a way to make it best before

If the beat gets you movin' and you need a good start

Let's everybody dance to a steel guitar

Now everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too

When the music starts a-rockin' nobody's blue

A funny little rhythm with a solid sound

A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce

Now whether it's hot or fine or sweet

If it's down in dixie brother it's got that beat

We don't have the moon or even the star

But here's that guitar going eight to the bar

Now everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too

When the music starts a-rockin' nobody's blue

A funny little rhythm with a solid sound

A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce

When you come down south and you want a good time

Just come to a dance when you're feelin' fine

Now that's all it takes to spend a happy time

Let's all dance together and have a wonderful time

Now everybody's dancin' and jumpin' too

When the music starts a-rockin' nobody's blue

A funny little rhythm with a solid sound

A boogie and a jumper called the Birmingham Bounce
