I like the taste of bacon, pork skins cracklin' hot
Fatback in my pinto beans and cornbread all on top
I like chicken and dumplings - what a treat to chew upon!
Lord, bless the hands that made 'em
I will miss them when they're gone.
Why don't you bring 'em on home?
(Trip down south really knocked me out!)
Bring 'em on home
(Trip down south really knocked me out!)
Trip down south really knocked me out
Now, Lordy, won't you bring 'em on home?
I swooped down on the biggest peach like a hawk upon a mouse
But when I took a bite, the little worm inside
Hollered "Get out of my house!"
Chorus
One crab lived in a mansion, the other one lived in a drain
But you couldn't tell, take 'em out of their shell
And they sure do look the same
Chorus
Instrumental
Well, mama bear, papa bear, me are three
And we all took a trip to the zoo
The zookeeper said "Just keep 'em well fed"
And now we're down to two
Chorus
Aw, yes, that trip down south really knocked me out
Oh, lordy, won't you bring 'em on home?
