Well if you're down in Mississippi, where the livin's slow

And you're just standin' on the corner, wonderin' which way to go

Just take a walk across town, to Beacon and Bay

Now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe 

Well there's Old Uncle Furry, he's a sittin' on the side

If you will talk to him just right, he might play you some of his slide guitar

He's got shoe shine's a-pumpin', five dollars a day

And it's all goin' on at the Busy Bee Cafe



It's just a good time, no crime, mighty fine, have a nice day

I see Lavala in the corner, speedin' her young life away



I've heard that jukebox play "High Heel Sneakers" twenty times a day

But when night rolls around, they move it out of theway

"Cause Footes and the boys, they come to town to play, 'til the break of day

Makin' everybody feel good at the Busy Bee Cafe



It's just a good time, no crime, mighty fine, have a nice day

I see Lavala in the corner, speedin' her young life away



If you're down in Mississippi, where the livin's slow

And you're just standin' on the corner, wonderin' which way to go

Just take a walk across town, to Beacon and Bay, yeah

Now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe

Well, now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe
