I went down to the local bar
To have a drink or two
I was making for the jet bar
My eyes fell on you
Oh, Tennessee, you're dancing gay
I saw you trying to love my way
But I said, wait, stop a minute
Give me a chance to call
I said, wait, stop a minute
Cause I really, really, really got to make you
I often see you walking down the street
I said, wait, stop a minute
You're always knocking so nice to me
I always got you on my mind
Come on, baby, let's have a good time
Oh, Tennessee, you're dancing gay
I saw you trying to love my way
But I said, wait, stop a minute
Give me a chance to call
I said, wait, stop a minute
Stop a minute
Cause I really, really, really got to make you
Oh, Tennessee, you're dancing gay
I said, wait, stop a minute
Give me a chance to call
I said, wait, stop a minute
Give me a chance to call
I said, wait, stop a minute
Oh, Tennessee, you're dancing gay
We'll be right back.
We'll see you then.
