Well, she comes from Tallahassee
She got a hi-fi chassis
Maybe looks a little sassy
But to me, she's real classy
Yeah, my Tallahassee Lassie
Down in F-L-A
Well, she's romping to the Drag
The Cha-cha, Rag-a-mop
Stomping to the Shag
Rocks the Bunny Hop
Ooh, ooh...
Well, she dances to the Bop
She dances to the Stroll
She dances to the Walk
She can rock and roll
She's my Tallahassee lassie
Yeah, my Tallahassee lassie
She's my Tallahassee lassie
Down in F-L-A
Well, she comes from Tallahassee
She got a hi-fi chassis
Maybe looks a little sassy
But to me, she's real classy
Yeah, my Tallahassee Lassie
Down in F-L-A
Well, she's romping to the Drag

Yeah, my Tallahassee lassie
She's my Tallahassee lassie
Down in F-L-A
Come on, baby
Come on, honey
Yeah, come on, sugar...

This song has venom,..I'll never ever forget hearing this one for the first time,..long long after it was released,..I was 16 then,..I just wanted to trash the living room in excitment,..still great now and never seems to loose that edge.
Lots of memories here. In 1959 I was graduating from high school in Minneapolis, Minn., when I purchased my first car. It was a mint green 1950 Ford 2-door V8 sedan and cost $125. The previous owner wintered in St. Petersburg and the car had Florida plates with the name Tallahassee on them. When my girl friends and I went cruising on weekends, we told boys we met that we were from Florida, and of course Tallahassee. Coincidently, one of the most popular songs that summer was “Tallahassee Lassie”. We sure did have fun with that car for a while…until I had to buy Minnesota plates!
I play with the guy on the drums on this record... Brehon Herlihey... He doesn't play the drums anymore but sings... Also did the song reform school girls..
