| Lyrics: | They saw a swallow building his nest;
I guess they figured he knew best,
So they built a
town around him
And they called it Mobile,
(WHERE'S THAT?) Alabama.
They took a
swampland, heavy with stream,
They added people with a dream,
And that dream became a
heaven
By the name of Mobile.
Pretty soon the town had grown
'Til they had a
slide trombone,
And a man who played piano,
And a swallow who sang soprano.
No
use your wondrin' where you should go.
It's on the Gulf of Mexico
Where the southern
belles are ringin'
And the climate's ideal,
It's a honeysuckle heaven
By the name of
Mobile. Yaahhhhhh!
