Mabel

Dont eat green meat it aint good for you
You know it killed your brother, killed your sister too
Even fresh fried chicken on new-mown sand
Cant beat red beans eaten outa your hand



Oh mabel, mabel! you know I love you gal but Im not able
Mabel, oh mabel, please get off the kitchen table
Dont slice no onions, dont peel no grape
Dream about banana slice nor sniff around short cake
And if on a winters day you find your sundials wrong
Youll know the weather is whats brought it on



Oh mabel, mabel! you know I love you gal but Im not able
Mabel, oh mabel, please get off the kitchen table
Put the peas in the pot, put the pot on the hot
In the cellar lies my wife, in my wife theres a knife
So tote that hammer, lift that pick
And banish inhibition with a pogo stick



Oh mabel, mabel! you know I love you gal but Im not able
Mabel, oh mabel, please get off the kitchen table
