Lyrics

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
