Eddie Rabbitt - Tullahoma Dancing Pizza Man Lyrics






Takes a wad of dough and he plops it on the table
Makes it flat and round and pours in a ladle of tomato sauce
Spreads it, red, thick, and sweet

Takes a big fistful of mozzarella cheese
Spreads it around with anchovies
Green peppers and onions and mushrooms and little ground beef

Then he puts it on the shelf, and then shoves it in the oven
With tender lovin' care
And he dances around while our tongues hang out
And the smell of heaven fills the air

Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Make me the juiciest pizza in the land
Hey, I'm no penny pincher
Give me that big sixteen-incher
Whoa-oh, make it to go
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man

Well, we sat in the booth less than a quarter of an hour
And out of the oven, like a giant sunflower
It came all ready and steamin' with boilin' cheese

Well, he took his round knife and he cut it up in slices
Put it in a box, looked at me and said the price is
$3.99, I gave him a five, I got $1.01 change

And I was tempted to eat it on the front seat
It smelled so good I could hardly drive
So now, excuse me, please, but I gotta have a piece
Of that scrumptious pizza pie

Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Make me the juiciest pizza in the land
Hey, I'm no penny pincher
Give me that big sixteen-incher
Whoa-oh, make it to go
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man
Tullahoma dancing pizza man

    Just hear baseball announcer talk of this 70’s tume. Never heard it before today & Like it. Never renember a large pizza costing $3.99.

  2. S.... O....

    Rico’s was great pizza, and when there was no other in town.

    So I recently started a job at Papa John's in TULLAHOMA and my buddy sent me the link to this song. I am dead right now. This is too awesome

  4. D.... C....

    I've never heard this before. The best pizza was Rico's (sp?).

  5. s.... ....

    I'm from Tullahoma.  Wonder where he visited in town to get the idea for this song?  Only thing I can think of is Gondola about 40 years ago when the kitchen area was open so you could see the guy making the pizzas and tossing the dough in the air and all that.  Although I don't remember anybody dancing.  LOL.  They are still open and they do make colossal pizzas!  Now the kitchen area is enclosed where you can't see. However the décor is still straight out of the 70's.  It's like walking back in time.

    s.... ....

    There was also Roma Pizza about that same time, almost right in front of the high school (I think it's a Greek restaurant now). First place I ever had pepperoni on pizza. My parents liked sausage pizza, so until then I didn't even know there was any other kind! :)
