Lyrics –

[Verse 1]
Take me back to old Yazoo
Everything up here is new
I can’t stand it, just must landed
Going back to Old Yazoo

[Verse 2]
Everything you do
People got their eyes on you
It’s compelling, y’have me yelling
Going back to Old Yazoo

[Bridge]
If you don’t like beans and rice
Get your rice and beans
If you don’t like greens and ham
Just get your ham and greens

[Verse 3]
How long will I have you wait?
Standing at the station gate
Broken hearted, gotta get started
Going back to Old Yazoo

[Chorus]
Oh, take me back to Old Yazoo
Everything up here is new
I can’t stand it, just must landed
Going back to Old Yazoo
Everything you do
Peoplе got their eyes on you
It’s compеlling, y’have me yelling
“Take me back to Old Yazoo”

[Post-Chorus]
If you don’t like beans and rice
Get your rice and beans
If you don’t like greens and ham
Just get your ham and greens
Lordy, lordy

[Verse 4]
How long will I have to wait
Standing at the station gate
I’m broken hearted
Gotta get started
Going back to old Yazoo

[Refrain]
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)
I am going to Yazoo, that’s where I belong
Everything I tell you seems to be all wrong
Yazoo (Yazoo)
Yazoo (Yazoo)

[Vocalizing Interlude]

[Outro]
Going back to old Yazoo
(Going back to old Yazoo)

My 2 cents –

My son felt like this was a silly song. To me it feels like old Jazz. It has a lovely feel to it. And it is different than the music you hear today.

Lyrics –

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
Yet, I know it’s true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you’ll do
You’ll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

La-la, la-la, la, ah, ah, ah
But if I know you, I know what you’ll do
You’ll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it’s true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you’ll do
You’ll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream

My 2 cents –

This version has a dreamy feel to it. I love the song overall, but this one suits the song better.
