Testo Save The Bones For Henry Jones Johnny Mercer
Weâre gonna have a supper
Weâll eat some food thatâs rare
And at the head of the table
Weâll place brother Henryâs chair
Invite all the local big dogs
Weâll laugh and talk and eat
But weâll save the bones for Henry Jones
âCause Henry donât eat no meat
Today Iâll go to market
Buy up a lotta fish
Well, that will thrill brother Henry
âCause fish is his special dish
Get a large can of molasses
Have something really sweet
But weâll save the bones for Henry Jones
âCause Henry donât eat no meat
Henry is not a drinker
He rarely takes a nip
He donât need a napkin
âCause the things he eats donât drip â blip!
One day we had a banquet
It really was a bake
They started off with short ribs
Then finished off with steak
But when the feast was over
Brother Henry just kept his seat
And we served the bones to Henry Jones
âCause Henry donât eat no meat
Our banquet was most proper
Right down to demitasse
From soup to lox and bagels
And pheasant under glass â class!
We thought the chops were mellow
He said his chops were beat â reet!
We served the bones to Henry Jones
âCause Henry donât eat no meat
Heâs an egg man
Henry donât eat no meat
He loves a pullet
Henry donât eat no meat
A vegetarian
Henry?
Coming mother!
Soupâs on
