Every time I cook, look like you can't get enough

Fix you a pot of soup and make you drink it up

So keep on a-eating

Oh, keep on a-eating

Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough



You don't like nobody's cooking but mine

Get up in the morning and fix you a tenderloin

So keep on a-eating

Oh, keep on a-eating

Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough



Don't tell nobody that I tried to be tough

I just got a man so hard to fill up

So keep on a-eating

Oh, keep on a-eating

Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough



(spoken:

Oh, play it now, Mr. Charlie

Yes, man! Just keep on eating

You'll get through it someday)



I know you're crazy about your oysters and your shrimp and crab

Take you around the corner and give you a chance to grab

So keep on a-eating

Oh, keep on a-eating

Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough



I've cooked and cooked till I done got tired

Can't fill you up off of my fried apple pie

So keep on a-eating

Oh, keep on a-eating

Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough



I know you got a bad cold and you can't smell

I ain't gonna give you something that I can't sell

So keep on a-eating

Oh, keep on a-eating

Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough
