Lyrics
Today's special is “Memphis Soul Stew”
We sell so much of this
People wonder what we put in it
We gon' tell you right now
Gimme about a half a teacup of bass
Now, I need a pound of fatback drums
Now, give me four tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars
This goin' taste all right
Now, just a little pinch of organ
Now, give me a half a pint of horns
Place on the burner and bring to a boil
That's it, that's it, that's it, right there
Now, beat well
