1
Tonight I'll serve a supper,
2
We'll eat some food that's rare.
3
And at the head of the table,
4
I'll place brother Henry's chair-
5
Invite all the local big dogs,
6
We'll laugh and talk and eat,
7
But we'll' save the bones for Henry Jones,
8
"˜cause he don't eat no meat-
9
Today I'll go to market-
10
and buy a lot of fish,
11
That will thrill Brother Henry,
12
Because that's his special dish.-
13
Get a large can of molasses,
14
so we'll have something sweet,
15
But save the bones for Henry Jones,
16
"cause he don't eat no meat.
17
Henry is not a drinker,
18
he rarely takes a nip,
19
He don't need a napkin,
20
"˜cause the things he eats don't drip.
21
One day we had a banquet,
22
It really was a bake,
23
They started off with some short ribs,
24
they finished off with a steak.
25
But when the feat was over,
26
brother henry just kept his seat,
27
and we served the bones to Henry Jones,
28
"˜cause he don't eat no meat.
29
To- he don't eat no meat.
