All That Meat And No Potatoes
Hey Pops! What's wrong Daddy?
You look like somethin' botherin' you
Ain't nothin' botherin' me honey
That a piece of roast beef can't fix up
Well I'll you one thing, Pops
A man works hard then comes on home
Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone
He opens the door, then starts to lookin'
Says, Women, what's this stuff you're cooking?
Now all that meat and no potatoes
I just ain't right, they're like the green tomatoes
Here I'm waitin'
Palpitatin'
With all that meat and no potatoes
All that meat and no potatoes
All that food to the alligators
Now hold me steady
I'm really ready
Now all that meat and no potatoes
I don't think that peas are bad
With meat most anything goes
Yes, I look into the pot
I'm fit to fight
'Cause, woman, you know that mess just ain't right
Oh, Pops!
All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Woman, I'm steamin', yeah!
I'm really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes
Say, I don't think that beans are bad
With meat most anything goes
Look into the pot
And what a sight!
Oh, woman, you know that without rice
Beans just ain't right
Oh, Pops!
All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Now woman, I'm steamin'
And I'm really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes
You look like somethin' botherin' you
Ain't nothin' botherin' me honey
That a piece of roast beef can't fix up
Well I'll you one thing, Pops
A man works hard then comes on home
Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone
He opens the door, then starts to lookin'
Says, Women, what's this stuff you're cooking?
Now all that meat and no potatoes
I just ain't right, they're like the green tomatoes
Here I'm waitin'
Palpitatin'
With all that meat and no potatoes
All that meat and no potatoes
All that food to the alligators
Now hold me steady
I'm really ready
Now all that meat and no potatoes
I don't think that peas are bad
With meat most anything goes
Yes, I look into the pot
I'm fit to fight
'Cause, woman, you know that mess just ain't right
Oh, Pops!
All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Woman, I'm steamin', yeah!
I'm really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes
Say, I don't think that beans are bad
With meat most anything goes
Look into the pot
And what a sight!
Oh, woman, you know that without rice
Beans just ain't right
Oh, Pops!
All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Now woman, I'm steamin'
And I'm really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes
