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,
