IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT DIXIE?
Jimmy Dorsey
(Irving Caesar, Sammy Lerner & Gerald Marks)
Is it true what they say about Dixie?
Does the sun really shine all the time?
Do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door?
Do folks keep eating possum till they can't eat no more?
Is it true what they say about Swanee?
Is a dream by that stream so sublime?
Do they laugh, do they love, like they say in every song?
If it's true, that's where I belong.(Chorus)
I get so weak in the knees I can hardly speak
Somethin' bout the way you do
(Repeat 4x)
(Verse 1)
I don't know what it is that you've done to me
But it's caused me to act in such a crazy way
Whatever it is that you do when you do what you're doing
It's a feeling that I don't understand
'Cause my heart starts beating triple time
With thoughts of loving you on my mind
I can't figure out just what to do
When the cause and cure is you
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Time after time, after time I try to fight it
But your love is strong, it keeps on holding on
Resistance is down
When you're around, cries fading
In my condition, I don't want to be alone
'Cause my heart starts beating triple time
With thoughts of loving you on my mind
I can't figure out just what to do
When the cause and cure is you
(Chorus)
(Cape)
I try hard to fight it
No way can I deny it
You're love's so sweet, knocks me off my feet
(Chorus)
(Breakdown)
(I get so weak)
Blood starts racing through my veins
(I get so weak)
Boy, it's something I can't explain
(I get so weak)
Something 'bout the way you do
The things you doo-ooo-ooo, it...
(I get so weak) Ooh, Ooh - off my feat
I get so weak
(Chorus)
