EVERYBODY EATS WHEN THEY COME TO MY HOUSE
(Burns)


Cab Calloway & His Orch. - 1948


Have a banana, Hannah
Try the salami, Tommy
Give with the gravy, Davy
Everybody eats when they come to my house

Try a tomato, Plato
Here's cacciatore, Dory
Taste the baloney, Tony
Everybody eats when they come to my house

I fix your favourite dishes
Hopin' this good food fills ya
Work my hands to the bone in the kitchen alone
You betta eat if it kills ya

Pass me a pancake, Mandrake
Havin' a derby, Erbie
Look in the fendel, Mendel
Everybody eats when they come to my house

Hannah, Davy, Tommy, Dora, Mandrake
Everybody eats when they come to my house

Pasta fazoola, Talulah
Oh, do have a bagle, Fagle
Now, don't be so bashful, Nasville
Everybody eats when they come to my house

Hey, this is a party, Marty
Yeah, you get the cherry, Jerry
Now look, don't be so picky, Micky
'Cause everybody eats when they come to my house

All o' my friends are welcome
Don't make me coax you, Mochoo
Eat the tables, the chairs, the napkins, who cares
You gotta eat if it chokes ya

Oh, do have a knish, nisha
Pass him the latke, Matke
Chilli con carne for Barney
Everybody eats when they come to my house

Face, Buster, share, chops, fump
Everybody eats when they come to my house

Everybody eats when they come to my house
