Down in Memphis, Tennessee

Lives a girl named Simmy,

She's got a meat shop on the block;

She's always got the gimme.



Serves a meal with a tadpole heel,

Can't resist for trying;

Every time you pass her door,

Hear Miss Simmy cryin':



Oh, beedle-um-bum,

Come see me if you ain't had none,

She make a dumb man speak,

A lame man run,

Sure miss something if you ain't had none!



Oh, the beedle-um-bum,

Oh, the beedle-um-bum,

Got the best beedle-dum

Down in Tennessee!



Oh, that beedle-um-dum-bum,

Got that beedle-um-dum-bum,
