All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain’t right, like green tomatoes
Here I’m waiting, palpitatin'
For all that meat and no potatoes
All that meat and no potatoes
All that food to the alligators, yes
Hold me steady. I am ready
For all that meat and no potatoes
I don’t think that peas are bad
With meat most anything goes
I look into the pot. I’m fit to fight
'Cause, woman, you know that mess ain’t right
All that meat and no potatoes
Just ain’t right, like green tomatoes
Woman, I’m steamin'. I’m really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes
Where is my fry and ham bone? Where is it?
So much amazing talent, versatility, and of course humor. Some folk just get a gift of God to just make our lives better. God bless you Mr. Waller. R.I.P.
Fats Waller wrote many songs he was not credited for. In a word he was a generous man. If someone wanted a song to perform he would write it and give it to that artist, no questions asked and for no fee, or would sign away the rights for a modest fee. Some hits of the time were written by him and others took the credit. He would just shrug it off
