In old Savannah I said Savannah The weather there is nice and warm The climate's of a southern brand But here's what I don't understand They've got a gal there A pretty gal there Who's colder than an artic storm Got a heart just like a stone Even nice men leave her alone They call her "hard hearted Hannah" The vamp of Savannah The meanest gal in town Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher She's a gal who loves to see men suffer To tease them and thrill 'em To torture and kill 'em Is her delight they say I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan There was Hannah pourin' water on a drownin' man She's hard hearted Hannah The vamp of Savannah, G-A The call her "hard hearted Hannah" The vamp of Savannah The meanest gal in town Talk of your cold, refridgerating mamas Brotha she's a polar bear's pajamas To tease them and thrill 'em To torture and kill 'em Is her delight they say An evening spent with Hannah sitting on your knees Is like travelin' through Alaska in your BVDs She's hard hearted Hannah The vamp of Savannah, G-A Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah? She's got the right name "the vamp of Savannah" Anytime a woman can take a great big pan Start pourin' water on a drownin' man She's hard hearted Hannah The vamp of Savannah, G-A Spoken: Ooh! She's sweet as sour milk.
