They call her Atlanta, Atlanta the beauty,
They call her Atlanta, because of her good looks,

She smiles just to kill,
When she walks by lasses,
Oh boy what elegance and grace!

They called me Atlanta, Atlanta the princess,
i walked all over town and they turned their heads
They called me Atlanta, sweatheart and lover,
Atlanta my honey, sugar, my babe!
They told me they loved me,
He said it aloud!
They told me they adored me,
there was noone else but me.
They said i was special.. a rare pearl he said,
they said i had it all..but now it seems i lacked a brain!
They called me Atlanta, like the far away land..
like it i was a beauty, a site for all to come and see!!
