She wasn't goin' uptown just to hobnob around
She had a Texas kinda attitude
That put her in a mood.
Wearin' cheap perfume and a Turkish towel
She hummed a melody as she messed around
Was a happy little melody she learned uptown
Slippin' on her dress she caught the thigh
Even the boys uptown ain't seen it this high
Twas a happy little melody
She hummed a line
She wasn't goin' uptown just to hobnob around
She had a Texas kinda attitude
That put her in a mood.
She wasn't really quite from Texas
But that's alright wit'chu
She'd just hum her little melody
That's all she had to do
She was a shoo-in
She wasn't foolin'
What she was doin'
They called her "Downpat"
They called her "Wildcat"
But she was like that.
Wearin' Spanish beads and an attitude
She hummed that melody as she locked up her room
Twas a simple little melody, kinda like Sh'Boom
Slippin' down the street where the action was
She felt the heads turnin' and she heard the buzz
She's singin' the happy little melody, and that's becuz
She wasn't goin' uptown just to hobnob around
She had a Texas kinda attitude
That put her in a mood.
She wasn't really quite from Texas
But that's alright wit'chu
She'd just hum her little melody
That's all she had to do
She was a shoo-in
She wasn't foolin'
What she was doin'
In harmony with herself
She had a red letter day
Without getting' in her way
She's truly on the case
She was getting' someplace
Th'wa'nt nothin' you could say
As she bipped along her way
She's tryin' to get to town
So she's shufflin' on down
