Artist/Band: Ray Charles
Lyrics for Song: Save The Bones For Henry Jones
Lyrics for Album: Just Between Us [1988]



We're gonna have a supper

We'll eat some food that's rare

And at the head of the table

We'll place brother Henry's chair

Invite all the local big dogs

We'll laugh and talk and eat

But we'll save the bones for Henry Jones

'Cause Henry don't eat no meat



Today I'll go to market

Buy up a lotta fish

Well, that will thrill brother Henry

'Cause fish is his special dish

Get a large can of molasses

Have something really sweet

But we'll save the bones for Henry Jones

'Cause Henry don't eat no meat



Henry is not a drinker

He rarely takes a nip

He don't need a napkin

'Cause the things he eats don't drip ' 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

'Cause Henry don't eat no meat



Our banquet was most proper

Right down to demitasse

From soup to lox and bagels

And pheasant under glass ' class!

We thought the chops were mellow

He said his chops were beat ' reet!

We served the bones to Henry Jones

'Cause Henry don't eat no meat

He's an egg man

Henry don't eat no meat

He loves a pullet

Henry don't eat no meat

A vegetarian

Henry?

Coming mother!

Soup's on
