《Don’t Go Reaching Across My Plate》歌词

[00:00:16] If one thing in this world

[00:00:17] I just can't stand

[00:00:19] Is bein' at the table wit' an I'll-mannered man

[00:00:22] Now if he's sittin' on your left

[00:00:25] Before you could eat a bite

[00:00:27] He'll reach across your plate

[00:00:29] An' you know that ain't right

[00:00:31] Now I like to eat as well as any man

[00:00:35] But there's some rules a fool should understand

[00:00:39] When ya have one little helpin'

[00:00:41] An' one extra piece of cake

[00:00:43] I tell ev'rybody don't go reachin' across my plate

[00:01:00] I was at a party last night at over Big Murray

[00:01:06] Cat reached 'cross my plate

[00:01:07] Got a coat sleeve in my gravy

[00:01:10] I didn't say a word just looked him dead in the eye

[00:01:13] He reached across my plate an' cut him a piece a pie

[00:01:17] Now I don't care if he did it for a prank

[00:01:21] I don't care if you had a drink

[00:01:25] Especially when I'm out a-with my date

[00:01:29] Now don't you go reachin' across my plate

[00:01:48] At a party last week there was some high-class folks

[00:01:52] Ev'rything on the table an' that ain't no joke

[00:01:55] They had barbecue possum rattlesnake gravy

[00:01:59] Chicken fried skunk an' it smelt real crazy

[00:02:03] Ev'rything went fine but one thing made me blue

[00:02:07] A cat reached across my plate for some armadillo3 stew

[00:02:10] Now when you at the table you act real nice

[00:02:12] You say pass me that or pass me the platter

[00:02:16] But just because you hungry an' happen to come in late

[00:02:19] Don't you go reachin' across MY plate

[00:02:20] Pass some a-that turkey over there baby

[00:02:22] No don't give me none of that skunk I don't want none a-that

[00:02:36] I I beg your pardon

[00:02:40] If this cat stop reachin' 'cross my plate I can maybe ask for somethin'

[00:02:43] A pass me a little a-that turkey there baby

[00:02:46] Na na na na-na-na-na

[00:02:48] Yeah-heya

[00:02:48] Party' nice party's nice

[00:02:51] Yeah ah give gimme some a that chicken over there baby

[00:02:54] Chicken fried skunk ah no
