Bells Of Southern Bell Songtext
von Del Reeves

There′s a Southern Bell Telephone Company in our town
Every afternoon, I'm right there hangin′ around
Them telephone operators walking up and down the street
Any fool could figure out what I'm there to see

Oh, I'm watching the belles of Southern Bell go by
Swinging their hips and rolling them pretty eyes
Them high-heels clickin′ make me start a-kickin′ my heels up, to the sky
Watching the belles of Southern Bell go by

Well, the google-eyed traffic cop out in the middle of the street
A-lookin' every which-a-way, except where he oughta be
With both arms waving, giving everyone the "go-ahead" sign
You can tell directing traffic′s not on his mind


'Cause he′s a-watching the belles of Southern Bell go by
Swinging their hips and rolling them pretty eyes
Them high-heels clickin' make me start a-kickin′ my heels up, to the sky
Watching the belles of Southern Bell go by

They say that the hemline's gonna be shorter, this year
Well, that sounds like mighty sweet music to my ears
I wouldn't have you thinking that I′m the wrong kind of guy
I′ve just sort of got an eye for the finer things of life

And I'm watching the belles of Southern Bell go by
Swinging them hips and rolling them pretty eyes
Them high-heels clickin′ make me start a-kickin' my heels up, to the sky
Watching the belles of Southern Bell go by

Yeah, I′m watching the belles of Southern Bell go by
