Lyrics for Song: Please Pass the Biscuits
Lyrics for Album: 20 Great Story Songs [Curb] [1999]
(Sang)
Just picture a lad, between Mom and Dad
It's Sunday, the tables all set
There's uncles, there's aunts, and cousins galore
There's plenty of food to be et.
The blessing is said, they reach for the bread
It's a feast a king could afford
There's clatter, there's chatter, but something's the matter
There's someone who's being ignored.
(Spoken)
Uh, would you please pass the biscuits?
Uh, would you pass the biscuits please?
Same thing ever Sunday since I can't remember when
Kinfolks all around the table and the biscuits at tuther end.
I got a plate of chicken and taters
And a lot of stuff like that
All, all I need is a biscuit
But I wish you'd look where they're at.
I guess I could reach across the table,
But that's ill-mannered, Mom always said
I wish I had a biscuit
I just can't eat without bread.
Uh, would you pass the biscuits
Uh, excuse me, would you please pass the biscuits
All I want is a biscuit, nobody seems to care
If they wouldn't talk so dog-gone loud they might be able to hear.
Hot doggies, they're half-finished eatin'
And I ain't even begun
I wish you'd look at them biscuits disappear
I'll be luck if I get a one.
Same thing ever Sunday
Always company to be fed
They're talkin' like they're wound up
Boy, I wish I had a piece of bread.
Hey, would, would, would you please pass the biscuits
It looks like somebody would notice that I ain't started eatin' yet
Sure be glad when they get their fill, and go into the parlor and set
Then, by golly, I won't have to use my manners
I'll just get a biscuit myself.
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle, there ain't a biscuit left
The only day of the week we get Sunday-fed
And they've et up all the biscuits
And, uh, I just can't eat without bread.
(Sang)
There's something the matter, no bread on the platter
And he just can't eat without bread...
