(Frank Loesser)


Alan Ladd&  Dorothy Lamour (Film Soundtrack) - 1947



BOTH:
Oh, won't you listen all you people on the Southbound plane
Oh, won't you listen to our friendly advice
LAMOUR:
About a quarter after seven we'll be pullin' into paradise

LADD:
When you see land a-kinda green and grassy
Beneath the Moon bright beyond compare
LAMOUR:
When you hear blue jays chirpin' high and sassy
And catch one sniff o' Southern cookin' hangin' on the evenin' air
LADD:
You'll now you're there
When you see folks (Goodday, goodday) all polite and classy
LAMOUR:
And every smile (Hello, howd'yado) bids you stay and rest
(This way, right here)
Get off that plane   LADD: Get off that train
BOTH:
You're in Tallahassee (Nice to see ya)
The Southland at it's best
(In Tallahassee, seek comfort and rest your weary old soul)
(And how will I know when I reach my goal)
LADD: When you see land
LAMOUR: Out of the window of a plane
LADD: Kinda green and grassy
(How in the world can you complain)
LAMOUR: Beneath the Moon
LADD: You oughta see the way it shines
LAMOUR: Bright beyond compare
(The way it shines upon the pnes)
LAMOUR: When you hear blue jays chirpin' high and sassy
LADD: And catch one sniff o' Southern cookin' hangin' on the evenin' air
LAMOUR: When you see folks   LADD: Havin' their out for dinner chat
LAMOUR: All polite and classy (Gentlemen all remove their hats)
LADD: And ev'ry smile   LAMOUR: Perfect harmony and peace
LADD: Bids you stay and rest (As a part of your belief)
BOTH:
Get off that plane, you're in Tallahassee
The capital city of Florida and the Southland at its best
The Southland at its very best
The Southland at its very best
