I love me some gravy
be it hot or be it cold
be it fresh or be it old
don’t mind if there are lumps
big flavorful meaty bumps
especially thick and delicious
always fulfills my tummy’s wishes
LOVE THAT GRAVY!
on hot biscuits it’s finger lickin’
or with potatoes and fried chicken
red-eye on ham and brown on beef
that flavor’s just beyond belief
eat it for breakfast, eat it for lunch
for supper better make it a bunch
I LOVE THAT GRAVY!
any meal’s not complete
‘til gravy smothers all the meat
don’t want it drizzled carefully
pour it on until you can’t see
anything else on my plate
let me set you straight
‘cause I LOVE THAT GRAVY!
It’s not only a delicious sauce
do a little extra for your boss
something more than is expected
and when your effort is detected
history has shown us
you’ll get a great big bonus
and what do they call it? GRAVY!
That doggone doctor told me to stop
said all that gravy is nothing but slop
clogs my arteries, hurts my heart
not going to listen to that old fart
tried to take away red meat too
not what I’m willing to do
I really LOVE THAT GRAVY!
so I’m looking for a new doc
one who listens when I talk
and who understands that living
needs to be a bit forgiving
and that if my choices kill me
when I meet St. Peter I will be
smiling because, I REALLY LOVE THAT GRAVY!
