They saw a swallow building his nest
I guess they figured he knew best
So they built a town around him
And the called it Mobile
Where's that?
Alabama
They took a swampland heavy with steam
They added people with a dream
And that dream became a heaven
By the name of Mobile
Pretty soon the town had grown
Till they had a slide trombone
And a man who played piano
And a swallow who sang soprano
No use you're wondring where you should go
It's on the Gulf of Mexico
Where the southern bells are ringing
And the climate's ideal
It's a honeysuckle heaven
By the name of Mobile
Where's that?
Alabama
Pretty soon the town had grown
Till they had a slide trombone
And a man who played piano
And a swallow who sang soprano
No use you're wondring where you should go
It's on the Gulf of Mexico
Where the southern bells are ringing
And the climate's ideal
It's a honeysuckle heaven
By the name of Mobile
I guess they figured he knew best
