All I Want Is A Spoonful Lyrics

Papa Charlie Jackson All I Want Is A Spoonful

I told you once : this makes twice
That's the last time : don't you boil them rice

You can brown your gravy : fry your steak
Sweet mama : don't make no mistake

Just sure as the winter : follows the fall
There ain't no one woman : got it all

You can meet a woman : that you can't understand
Must be looking for you : or a monkey‑man

Now cool kind mama : says you needn't've stalled
Throw it out the window : I'll catch it before it falls

I got the blues so bad : I couldn't sleep last night
My cool kind mama : want to fuss and fight

Now I'm so glad : that dog can talk
I can't teach him : to take a morning's walk

Now if you don't believe : that I can run mighty fast
Ask that man : that run me last
