A "Hillbilly Jazz" tune written by Andy Razaf, popularized by Phil Harris

lyrics

Well let's go back to Alabama
Let's go see my dear old mama
Cookin' eggs and fryin' ham
That's what I like about the South

You won't make no mistake
And your nerves are never shaken
Rather taste that layer cake
That's what I like about the South

She's got baked ribs and candied yams
Sugar-cured Virginia hams
Basement full of those berry jams
And that's what I like about the South

Ham hocks and turnip greens
Cornbread and butter beans
Mardi Gras down in New Orleans
That's what I like 'bout the South

Well here comes a man with all the news
Box back coat and button shoes
Paid up with his union dues
That's what I like 'bout the South

There's a place down there called Doo-wah-diddy
It ain't no town and it ain't no city
Me oh my but it sure is pretty
That Doo-wah-diddy

Oh doo-wah, doo-wah diddy,
Doo-way, doo-wah diddy,
Doo-wadda doo wadda doo wadda doo wadda
That's what I like about the south
