Got out late last night, in the rain and sleet

Tryin' to find a butcher that grind my meat

Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher

He must be long and tall

If he want to grind my meat

Cause I'm wild about my meat balls



A no good man but he's so doggone stout

Before he starts to grindin' he's all worn out

Somebody send me a butcher

He must be long and tall

If he want to grind my meat

Cause I'm wild about my meat balls



He can clean my fish, even pick my crabs

But what I need is my meat ground bad

Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher

He must be long and tall

If he want to grind my meat

Cause I'm wild about my meat balls



You can have your roast chicken and your good lamb stew

But for my choice them old meat balls will do

Somebody send me a butcher

He must be long and tall

If he want to grind my meat

Cause I'm wild about my meat balls



Now look here papa, don't try to stall

If you can't grind a long time, don't grind at all

Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher

He must be long and tall

If he want to grind my meat

Cause I'm wild about my meat balls
