Mobile Songtext
von Julius La Rosa

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 steam
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 the man who played piano
And the swallow who sang soprano


No use you′re wondering where you should go
It's on the Gulf of Mexico
Where the southern belles 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
'Til they had a slide trombone
And the man who played the piano
And the swallow who sang soprano

No use you′re wondering where you should go
It's on the Gulf of Mexico
Where the southern belles are ringing
And the climate′s ideal
It's a honeysuckle heaven
By the name of Mobile
