|
Closest to the bone |
|
Sweeter is the meat |
|
Last slice of Virginia ham |
|
Is the best that you can eat |
|
Don't talk about my baby |
|
She's slender but she's sweet |
|
Closest to the bone |
|
And sweeter is the meat |
|
Now she'd make a good thermometer |
|
If she drank a glass of wine |
|
She's built just like a garter snake |
|
She climbs up like a vine |
|
My friends tell me I'm a fool |
|
To love a girl like that |
|
Here's the reason I like 'em slim |
|
Instead of big and fat |
|
'Cause closest to the bone |
|
Sweeter is the meat |
|
Last slice of Virginia ham |
|
Is the best that you can eat |
|
Now don't talk about my baby |
|
She's slender but she's sweet |
|
Umm, closest to the bone |
|
And sweeter is the meat |
|
Let's go |
|
Yeah, let's go, yeah, boy |
|
Attaboy |
|
One more, one more |
|
One more, one more |
|
Yeah, boy |
|
In the moonlight..... |
|
Yeah, closest to the bone, yeah |
|
Ahh, look out now |
|
Now she'd make a first class fountain pen |
|
If she only knew how to write |
|
Her figure's like a piece of string |
|
Umm, she rolls up every night |
|
Everybody thinks that I'm a nut |
|
To love this lovely worm |
|
Boy there's one reason I like 'em slim |
|
Instead of round and firm |
|
'Cause closest to the bone |
|
Sweeter is the meat |
|
Last slice of Virginia ham |
|
Is the best that you can eat |
|
Now don'cha talk about my baby |
|
She's slender but she's sweet, umm |
|
Closest to the bone |
|
Umm, sweet, I got another one now, |
|
Listen here |
|
Umm, she'd make a fine piccolo |
|
If she only stayed on key |
|
Boy she's shaped like a rubber band |
|
And she loves to snap at me |
|
Everybody thinks I'm insane |
|
To overlook her faults |
|
But here's the reason I like 'em skinny |
|
Instead of full of schmaltz |
|
'Cause closest to the bone |
|
Sweeter is the meat |
|
Last slice of Virginia ham |
|
Is the best that you can eat |
|
Don't talk about my baby |
|
She's slender but she's sweet |
|
And it's closest to the bone |
|
And sweeter is the meat |
