Memphis Me

i loosen up my collar when it’s warm outside,
and i wear a heavy coat when it’s cold
i call up the doctor when my fever’s high,
see a tailor when my suit gets old
and when i need a little company,
there’s only one girl i want to see,
and she lives in memphis tennessee
i think i’ll memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah
memphis me, one more time
it’s early in the morning in birmingham,
and i wish that i could stay in bed
cause i’m dreaming that she’s with me here where i am
and i know it’s only in my head
but when i need a little company,
she’s the only girl i wanna see
but she lives in memphis tennessee
i guess i’ll memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah,
memphis me, one more time
a farmer has to live where his crops will grow,
and a peddler has to sell his wares
the children need to learn what the teachers know,
everybody needs someone who cares
so when i need a little company,
there’s only one place for me to be
and it’s here in memphis tennessee
i had to memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah
memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah,
one more time. etc and out
