Little Ole Opry
By: Noah Eaton
7/7/02

Slip the clutch, let it all swing
Do the twist, let your soul sing
Come now, we've got to hurry-scurry
Upon the Little Ole Opry

Forget those blue suede shoes
No need to come in on a Mercedes-Bens
Your smile is all I need
To throb and steal my heart again
I'll teach you how to dance two-step
Just follow my lead, then unite
Hop up in your plaid and blue jeans
We can make the most of this moonlight

Give 'em a holler, cause everything is hunky-dory
Toe shoes head over heels, and then you're going
You feel like Mark Cone driving that silver thunderbird
So bring the pedal to the metal nd let your legs work

Slip the clutch, let it all swing
Do the twist, let your soul sing
Come now, we've got to hurry-scurry
Upon the Little Ole Opry

Sit down and watch the band play away
Strum myriads of steel guitar
That bring meteor showers to the platform
And melt away the stars
You have Nashville written all over you
But you've got Memphis in your soul
Just jingle to the fiddle-faddling fiddle
As we go down the line in alamo

Celebrate, because its also hip to be square
We'll take it home, for nothing else compares
Together we'll cast tidal waves
I'm feeling very good, so let's keep on dancing the night away

Slip the clutch, let it all swing
Do the twist, let your soul sing
Come now, we'll dance like crazy
On this Little Ole Opry


"Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."
