I'm going to do this tune.
It was recorded by Johnny Moyser
and Nat King Cole
quite a few years back.
It's entitled Save the Bones
for Henry Jones,
because Henry doesn't
eat no meat.
Tonight I'm gonna give a supper,
we'll eat some food
that's right,
and at the head of the table,
I'm gonna place
Brother Henry's chair,
I'm gonna invite all the
local big dogs.
We're gonna laugh,
we're gonna talk,
we're gonna eat.
Then I'm gonna rake
up the bone
because Henry doesn't eat
no meat.
Today I'm going to the market,
the French market,
that's a large market.
I'm gonna buy a whole lot of fish,
old fish, that will thrill brother Henry.
because fish is a special dish.
I'm gonna get a large can of molasses
so Henry will have something
nice and sweet to eat,
something southern.
Then I'm gonna scoop up the bones
for Henry Jones,
cuz Henry doesn't eat no
meat.
Henry's not a like me
he rallied takes a nip
Henry never needs a napkin
because the things that Henry eats don't
drip one day we had a banquet
it really was a big we
We started off eat ing
short ribs of beef,
then we finished up eating steak,
but after the feast was over,
Brother Henry just sat
down like a gentleman
and kept his seat.
Then I scooped up the bones
for Henry Jones,
cause Henry doesn't eat no meat,
he's a fruit
Henry doesn't eat no meat.
He's an egg man.
Henry doesn't eat no meat.
He's a vegetarian.
Henry doesn't eat no meat.
He loves the gristle.
Henry doesn't eat no meat.
