  • Feelin' low
    Rockin' slow
    I want to go
    Right back where I belong
    Way down south in Birmingham
    I mean south in Alabam'
    There's an old place where people go
    To dance the night away
    They all drive or walk for miles
    To get jive that southern style
    It's an old jive that makes you want
    To dance till break of day
    It's a junction where the town folks meet
    At each function in a tux they greet you
    Come on down, forget your care
    Come on down, you'll find me there
    So long town, I'm heading for
    Tuxedo Junction now

    Feelin' low
    Rockin' slow
    I want to go
    Right back where I belong
    Way down south in Birmingham
    I mean south in Alabam'
    There's an old place where people go
    To dance the night away
    They all drive or walk for miles
    To get jive that southern style
    It's an old jive that makes you want
    To dance till break of day
    It's a junction where the town folks meet
    At each function in a tux they greet you
    Come on down, forget your care
    Come on down, you'll find me there
    So long town, I'm heading for
    Tuxedo Junction now
