Mabel Lyrics

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 



Oh 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
