Save The Bones For Henry Jones ('Cause Henry Don't Eat No Meat) |
We’re gonna have a supper |
We’ll eat some food that’s rare |
And at the head of the table |
We’ll place brother Henry’s chair |
Invite all the local big dogs |
We’ll laugh and talk and eat |
But we’ll save the bones for Henry Jones |
'Cause Henry don’t eat no meat |
Today I’ll go to market |
Buy up a lotta fish |
Well, that will thrill brother Henry |
'Cause fish is his special dish |
Get a large can of molasses |
Have something really sweet |
But we’ll save the bones for Henry Jones |
'Cause Henry don’t eat no meat |
Henry is not a drinker |
He rarely takes a nip |
He don’t need a napkin |
'Cause the things he eats don’t drip blip! |
One day we had a banquet |
It really was a bake |
They started off with short ribs |
Then finished off with steak |
But when the feast was over |
Brother Henry just kept his seat |
And we served the bones to Henry Jones |
'Cause Henry don’t eat no meat |
Our banquet was most proper |
Right down to demitasse |
From soup to lox and bagels |
And pheasant under glass class! |
We thought the chops were mellow |
He said his chops were beat reet! |
We served the bones to Henry Jones |
'Cause Henry don’t eat no meat |
He’s an egg man |
Henry don’t eat no meat |
He loves a pullet |
Henry don’t eat no meat |
A vegetarian |
Henry? |
Coming mother! |
Soup’s on |
