That's just what they do
You can't blame Mary for stealing hearts
When you taste her bbq
She got a brisket nice and tender
Best you'll ever try
Way she cooks so nice and slow
Will keep you satisfied
[Chorus:]
Kansas City to Memphis town
Arkansas on down
Come on into Mary's kitchen
If you want your sausage ground
She got a sign on her front porch says,
"Hot stuff for sale"
In a little three room shotgun
In the alley behind the jail
Sweet, sour, thick or thin
Tangy, hot or mild
Some like it hot, some like it cold
Some like it any way it's sold
[Chorus:]
Poking at her charcoal grill
Putting sauce on her famous ribs
When it comes to what you want
The whole neighborhood's got dibs
One taste and you'll be hooked
It's like nothing else you've known
Find yourself on her kitchen floor
Hopin' she throws you a bone
[Chorus:]
You can't blame a thief for stealing wallets That's just what they do You can't blame Mary for stealing hearts When you taste her bbq She got a brisket nice and tender Best you'll ever try Way she cooks so nice and slow Will keep you satisfied [Chorus:] Kansas City to Memphis town Arkansas on down Come on into Mary's kitchen If you want your sausage ground She got a sign on her front porch says, "Hot stuff for sale" In a little three room shotgun In the alley behind the jail Sweet, sour, thick or thin Tangy, hot or mild Some like it hot, some like it cold Some like it any way it's sold [Chorus:] Poking at her charcoal grill Putting sauce on her famous ribs When it comes to what you want The whole neighborhood's got dibs One taste and you'll be hooked It's like nothing else you've known Find yourself on her kitchen floor Hopin' she throws you a bone [Chorus:] Explain Request ×
