Lyrics
- There was a girl named Mirandy
‘Way down in old Tennessee
Who tried to dance with her dandy
Down at the huskin’ bee
On the floor, you could hear him roar:
“Step, honey baby for me:
Chorus
Buzz, Mirandy, you look like a dandy
Buzz, Mirandy, I think you’re the candy
When you buzz you’re sweet as can be
Oh! babe, you’re tickling me
Buzz, my honey, and stop hesitating
Buzz, my honey and keep syncopating
Keep you ‘rep’ on your mind
Every move is divine
Buzz, Mirandy, you look like a dandy
Beautiful baby mine
Drag ’em along and don’t be stingy
- You’ve heard about matrimony
Some people buzz into that
Then after that alimony
That buzz will leave you flat
Baby bee, buzz awhile for me
Don’t let me beg you for that
Patter
Buzz, like the bee that’s in the clover
Buzz, like you’re buzzin’ down to Dover
Buzz, does my baby put it over?
Buzz, buzz, I’ll say she does
She’s got a buzz, that’s the envy of the city
There’s no fault to be found
But the best buzz of them all
Is the one that makes them fall
I mean the buzz when you do it sweet and pretty
Raggin’, draggin’ around, Oh! baby
