Save The Bones For Henry Jones - Lyrics
Tonight we’ll have a party, we’ll eat some food that’s rare
And at the head of the table, I’ll place Brother Henry’s chair
Invite all the local big dogs, We’ll laugh and talk and eat
But we’ll save the bones for Henry Jones
‘Cause Henry don’t eat no meat
Today we’ll go to market, and buy a lot of fish
That will thrill Brother Henry, ‘cause fish is his special dish
Get a large can of molasses, so we’ll have somethin’ sweet
But we’ll save the bones for Henry Jones
‘Cause Henry don’t eat no meat
Henry don’t like gravy, he don’t dunk or dip
He don’t need no napkins, ‘cause the things he eats don’t drip
(drrrrrip!)
One day we had a banquet, it really was a bake
They started off with shortribs,
Then they finished up with steak
But when the feast was over, Brother Henry just kept his seat
And we served the bones to Henry Jones
‘Cause Henry don’t eat no meat
Our banquet was most proper, right down to demi-tasse
From soup to lox and bagels and pheasant under glass
He thought the chops were mellow
He said his chops were beat
And we served the bones to Henry Jones
‘Cause Henry don’t eat no, He shouts for bean sprouts
Henry don’t eat no, Don’t you give him bacon
Henry don’t eat no, Badly mistaken
Henry don’t eat no, He’s been on fish since since sixty-six
Henry don’t eat no, And he gets his kicks in celery sticks
Henry don’t eat no, Sure can grease when he eats that cheese
Henry don’t eat no, I’m in the mood for seafood
Henry don’t eat no, Doodley-ak-sak-he loves his seafood
