Lyrics
Oh, oh, get your ticket, get your ticket to the Dixie tonight I’ve got a cherry blossom rose and a pill box for my head I’ve got a slinky new dress and the high heels from under the bed Because I’m going to the Dixie tonight I’m gonna knock ‘em dead You say that life is dated and dying I say it’s a culture revival, it’s sultry and thriving Come to the Dixie to see for yourself if you think that I’m lying It’s where we cast off all the cares of the week And alive on stage, we see the people we’ve always dreamed we could be It was cold up North and a visit to the beach brought them down That’s how the last great gentlemen of the theater ended up in a fishing town And while strolling with his wife on Avenue East He saw the crumbling remnants of a fancy marquee Though it was deemed unsafe for occupancy He still saw a glimmer of it’s former glory, the Dixie What do you have up there in the big City You may have light and the streets Well come down to Florida The pace may be slower but baby, we’ve got the heat On the edge of our seats in stark anticipation Waiting to see the collision of the genteel South to the Great White Way Everybody wants to be at the Dixie tonight Get your ticket, to the Dixie Get your ticket
