BREAD AND BUTTER MAN
(Hollingworth / Loden)

Jerry Lee Lewis - 1964
The Nashville Teens - 1964



Let me, let me be
Oh, let me be your bread and butter man
Say I, say I do
Say I do, give me your lovin' hand

I'll swing that pick and shovel
Sweatin' just for you
I'm gonna bring home the bacon
And a brand new pair o' shoes

Honey, I'll dress you up so pretty
In a new frock of blue
I'm gonna work my fingers to the bone
To prove my love is true

So come on, let me be
Let me be your bread and butter man
Say I, say I do
Say I do, hoh-oh, give me your lovin' hand

Aaahhh yeah!

(Instrumental Break)

Oh-oooh, I'll take you out amongst 'em
And we'll do up the town
We'll go to a movie show
And we'll drive around

I'll order up a steak for you
So tender and brown
Tomorrow I'll be back again
Diggin' in the doggone ground

So, come on, oh, come on
Yeah, let me be your bread and butter man
