Dear Old Southland

Dear Old Southland - Coleman Hawkins (柯曼·霍金斯)

I love the way you say goodnight

I kinda like the way you mumble

While you fumble for the key

More time for kissing me

I love the way you say goodnight

I kinda like the way you linger

With your finger on the bell

More kisses and they're swell

When you say gotta get home by twelve

I always say let's go

'Cause you can take longer to say good night

Than any three others I know

I love the way you say goodnight

I kinda like the way you snuggle while you juggle with your comb

Mmmmmm I'm never never never going home

I love the way

I kinda like the way

You say

The way you always say

Good night

The way you always whisper honey nighty night

The way you let our kisses mingle 'til I tingle to my toes

We're blushing like a rose

I love the way

I kinda like the way the extraordinary way

Good night

The way you always say don't go just hold me tight

I kinda like the way you giggle

While you jiggle with your bag

Our heart's are playing tag

When you say

We just got to be home by twelve

But don't I always say let's go 'cause you can take longer

To say good night than any three others I know

I love the way I kinda like the way

You say

The super duper special way

Goodnight

The way you have me flying higher than a kite

I kinda like the way you snuggle

While you juggle with your comb

It looks as though you're never going

No I'm never never never never never never gonna go home
