All I Want Is a Spoonful

I told you once: This makes twice
That's the last time: Don't you boil them rice

You can brown your gravy: Fry your steak
Sweet mama: Don't make no mistake

Just sure as the winter: Follows the fall
There ain't no one woman: Got it all

You can meet a woman: That you can't understand
Must be looking for you: Or a monkey‑man

Now cool kind mama: Says you needn't've stalled
Throw it out the window: I'll catch it before it falls

I got the blues so bad: I couldn't sleep last night
My cool kind mama: Want to fuss and fight

Now I'm so glad: That dog can talk
I can't teach him: To take a morning's walk

Now if you don't believe: That I can run mighty fast
Ask that man: That run me last
