mabel

don't eat green meat it ain't good for you

you know it killed your brother

killed your sister too

even fresh fried chicken on new-mown sand

can't beat red beans eaten outa your hand

7oh mabel

mabel! you know i love you gal but i'm not able

mabel

oh mabel

please get off the kitchen table

don't slice no onions

don't peel no grape

dream about banana slice nor sniff around short cake

and if on a winter's day you find your sundial's wrong

you'll know the weather is what's brought it on

oh mabel

mabel! you know i love you gal but i'm 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 there's 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 i'm not able

mabel

oh mabel

please get off the kitchen table
