The Hungry Men
Say, Lizzie
That new white dress looks awful pretty
Thank you
Oh, and I see you baked one of your special lemon cakes
Papa and the boys invited File for picnic lunch
(Oh)
File's comin'
File's comin' (File's comin?)
(Nice to have a day off)
You ladies stop that gossipin' and get the chow on
We're hungry!
(Nice to have a day off)
Might as well have one good meal before we go to the poorhouse
The crops are nearly rotten
They shrivel up and waste away
Grass is low
And nothin' seems to grow
And there's not a lot of hay
Oh, well
Let's picnic, what the hell
Might as well enjoy the day
Fix a basket of food for the hungry men
Find a place in the shade for the hungry men
Make a nice little cake for the hungry men (Make a basket of food for the hungry men)
Find a place in the shade for the hungry men (Fix up a plate for the hungry men)
Make a nice lemon cake for the hungry men (Wait till they're properly fed and then)
Find a place in the shade for the hungry men (Fix up a plate for the hungry men)
And start it all over to plan tomorrow (Find a place in the shade for the hungry men and)
All for the hungry men
And now, dear Lord
We ask Thy blessing upon this food
For its intended use
And if it be Thy will (Ah)
Let a big rain come to cool this parched and hungry earth
I have so many things I want to do for you (Let the rain come)
I have so many things saved up to say (Let the rain come)
I have so many longings that belong to you (Let the rain come)
So love, don't turn away (Let the rain come) (Fix a freezer of cream for the hungry men)
Nice to have a day off
Amen
