The Philadelphia Fillies
Seductive Swing in the City of Brotherly Love
Lyrics
Well, I'm sitting here a thinking about those Philadelphia Fillies
Reflecting on the Philadelphia Fillies, not referring to baseball.
And some may think I'm talking 'bout baseball
Clarifying that the mention is not about baseball.
But I'm talking about the ones that wear them dresses oh so pretty
Referring to women in dresses, emphasizing their attractiveness.
And the way they swing should be against the law
Expressing admiration for the way they carry themselves, suggesting it's remarkable.
There's a lot of dangerous curves in that beautiful city
Describing the city's allure with metaphorical "dangerous curves."
Oh, but you'll never see no warning signs
Highlighting the unpredictability of the city, using no warning signs metaphorically.
And if you wanna get right down to the nitty-gritty
Suggesting a straightforward approach to understanding the city's essence.
Oh, you can bat a thousand every time
Encouraging confidence, implying success in romantic pursuits.
I met a Yankee in New York, and I love an angel out in L.A.
Recalling encounters in different cities, emphasizing a special connection with Philadelphia.
But those Philadelphia Fillies tore my mind apart
Expressing emotional impact, indicating a profound effect on the speaker.
And this giant's leaving Frisco today
Announcing departure from another city, attributing it to the allure of Philadelphia.
There's some nice looking twins up in Minnesota
Mentioning attractive individuals in other cities for context.
And Atlanta's got a brave girl or two
Pointing out the attractiveness of individuals in Atlanta.
And I cuddled a cubby in old Chicago
Referring to a romantic encounter in Chicago with a "cubby" (Cubs fan).
But Philadelphia I'm a coming back to you
Expressing a strong desire to return to Philadelphia despite other experiences.
I met a Yankee in New York, and I love an angel out in L.A.
Reiterating encounters in different cities, emphasizing the impact of Philadelphia.
But those Philadelphia Fillies tore my mind apart
Repeating the emotional impact of the Philadelphia Fillies.
And this giant's leaving Frisco today
Announcing departure from another city, reiterating the influence of Philadelphia.
I'm sitting here a thinking about those Philadelphia Fillies
Revisiting thoughts on the Philadelphia Fillies, not baseball.
And some may think I'm talking 'bout baseball
Reiterating that the reference is not about baseball but about attractive women.
I'm talking about the ones that wear them hot pants oh so pretty
Emphasizing the allure of women in hot pants in Philadelphia.
And the way they swing should be against the law
Expressing admiration for their style, playfully suggesting it's almost illegal.
There's some nice looking twins up in Minnesota
Mentioning attractive individuals in Minnesota for context.
And Atlanta's got a brave girl or two
Highlighting the appeal of individuals in Atlanta again.
And there's some nice looking legs in Cincinnati
Noting attractive legs in Cincinnati for context.
But Philadelphia I'm a coming back to you
Reiterating a strong commitment to return to Philadelphia despite other attractions.
