All That Meat and No Potatoes - Louis Armstrong, His All-Stars

A man works hard then comes on home

Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone

He opens the door, then start to lookin'

Says, Woman, what’s this stuff you’re cookin'?

Now all that meat and no potatoes

Just ain’t right, like green tomatoes

Here I’m waiting, palpitatin'

With all that meat and no potatoes

All that meat and no potatoes

All that food to the alligators

Now hold me steady.

I am really ready

Now all that meat and no potatoes

I don’t think that peas are bad

With me most anything goes

I look into the pot.

I’m fit to fight

'Cause, woman, you know that mess just ain’t right

All that meat and no potatoes

Just ain’t right, like green tomatoes

Woman, I’m steamin'.

yeah really screamin'

All that meat and no potatoes

I don’t t think that beans are bad

With me most most anything goes

(that's what I like about you)

Looked in the pot, what a sight

Cause woman you know without rice beans just ain’t right

All that meat and no potatoes

Just ain’t right, like green tomatoes

Now woman, I’m steamin'.

yeah really screamin'

(it ain’t rationed)

All that meat and no potatoes

Where is my fry and ham bone?

Where is it?
