  1. (In unison, homage to The Bonnie Blue Flag)
  2. Hurrah! Hurrah! For Dixie's boys, hurrah!
  3. Hurrah for the flag o' the 12th with all her battle scars!
  4.  
  5. (Singer 1: Anon)
  6. I was but a librarian, I owned a wooden bot,
  7. And she was quite the patriot, her soul was burnin' hot!
  8. Trick me to enlistin', is 'sactly what she did,
  9. If she signed up by herself, she feared that I'd forbid!
  10. The colonel, my dear brother, at first was not her fan,
  11. But when she took my musket, her killing spree began!
  12.  
  13. My little darling Dixie, my hero of the South!
  14. Come on you men, pick up your guns, and we'll drive these Yankees out!
  15. I'll always fight beside you, my darling Dixie droid!
  16. You and me and General Lee, the Fed'ral army we'll destroy!
  17.  
  18. Behind a wall we found ourselves, 'twas made of wood and stone,
  19. Instead of bein' side by side, we fought them on our own!
  20. The Yankee cannons struck us hard, my brother's leg was hit,
  21. We fell back to the forest where my heart sank down a pit!
  22. Dixie, we had left behind, her life we thought was spent,
  23. Until 'bout two nights later when she kissed me in my tent!
  24.  
  25. *instrumental break*
  26.  
  27. (Singer 2: Colonel Angel)
  28. I heard about this "Dixie", and Lincoln told me then:
  29. "Find yourself YOUR Dixie to inspire all our men!"
  30. One blond named Private Maggie, she really caught my eye,
  31. I told her: "Find Miss Dixie, and make sure she would die!"
  32. At Bull Run we were back again, we saw her in their line,
  33. Maggie went to work on her, but Ardwick was all mine!
  34.  
  35. Unlucky little Dixie, you realize what you've done?
  36. The Union army knows your name, if I were you, I'd start to run!
  37. And I predict in minutes, your droid will lose her fight!
  38. But don't fret, Mr. Ardwick, very soon you'll reunite!
  39.  
  40. I lost our little swordfight, and made the 8th retreat,
  41. Instead of killing Dixie though, my private got cold feet!
  42. Pope sent us back to Washington, I made my message clear,
  43. "Obey my orders, stupid bot, or your rear's out of here!"
  44. (Singer 3: McCroskey)
  45. "You're Captain now, Lieutenant, but not in 12 S.C."
  46. "You'll be in a new regiment, another company!"
  47.  
  48. Oh little darling Dixie, made Stonewall Jackson proud!
  49. To have you in his di-vision, we all will raise a cheer so loud!
  50. Come on, you darling Dixie droid, we'll show them Yanks what for!
  51. With you fightin' on our side, I'm confident we'll win this war!
  52.  
  53. *fiddle solo*
  54.  
  55. (Singer 1 again)
  56. Sharpsburg up in Maryland, oh what a bloody day,
  57. The 17th we were now with, our rifles fired away!
  58. The Yank, his name was Angel, one arm was all he had,
  59. I thought I'd have the upper hand, but my leg was bleedin' bad!
  60. He knocked me down, stood over me, about to cleave my head,
  61. But my Dixie girl, she intervened, and shot that Angel dead!
  62.  
  63. I love you, oh my Dixie, my darling Dixie droid!
  64. In battle I have never seen, a soldier of such fear devoid!
  65. But thank you, Private Maggie, you truly saved my life!
  66. And if she weren't a nandroid, I would make that Dixie my wife!
  67. (In unison after short pause)
  68. Myyyy daaaaaarliiing Diiixiiie droooooooooid!
