PHILADELPHIA FILLY

Tracy Pendarvis - 1962


Tallahassie Lassie had a lot on the ball
Susie Q and Peggy Sue has met you all
My Philly filly from old P A
A modern day rocker in a space age way
Philadelphia filly
Man, she's a dilly, hey!

When she's dancin', she can really go
Twistin' or a-boppin', she steals the show
Looks so neat, walkin' down the street
She's my filly and she can't be beat
Philadelphia filly
Man, she's a dilly, no!

(Instrumental Break)

When she kisses, she makes a smack
Makes a shiver run up my back
Dressed for a weddin' or in old blue jeans
Sweetest gal that you've ever seen
Philadelphia filly
Man, she's a dilly, hey!

Number one rocker all over this land
Swingin' to the music on the big bandstand
Speaking in class or doin' handjive
Makes everybody just come alive
Philadelphia filly
Man she's a dilly, hey!

(Instrumental Break)

When she's dancin', she can really go
Twistin' or a-boppin', she steals the show
Looks so neat, walkin' down the street
She's my filly and she can't be beat
Philadelphia filly
Man, she's a dilly, hey!

Philadelphia filly
Oh, she's a dilly
Philadelphia filly
Oh, more pity..........FADE
