All that meat, and no potatoes Just ain't right, like green tomatoes Yeah, I'm waiting Palpatatin' But all that meat, and no potatoes
All that meat, and no potatoes All that food, to the alligators, yeah Hold me steady I am ready With all that meat and no potatoes
I don't think that peas are bad With me, most anything goes I look in the pot, I'm fit to fight 'Cause woman, you know that mess ain't right.
All that meat, and no potatoes Just ain't right, like green tomatoes Yes, I'm steamin' I'm really screamin' All that meat and no potatoes.
