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' in 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 because

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

(All she was)

She wasn't foolin'

(No siree)

What she was doin'

(upon my knee)

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
