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
