Reefus Green from New Orleans,
He's the laziest man I ever seen!
I was in my back yard, washin' hard,
And I asked him to give me some lard;
He made me so doggone mad,
And I stayed mad all day!
He knew I could not fry my meat without lard,
And this is what I said;

I need a-plenty grease in my fryin' pan,
'Cause I don't want my meat to burn!
You know I asked you but to give me some lard,
But it seems that you cannot learn!

You know I use plenty grease every day,
But I ain't did no fryin' while you was away!
I need a-plenty grease in my fryin' pan,
'Cause I don't want my meat to burn!

I need a-plenty grease in my fryin' pan,
'Cause I don't want my meat to burn!
You know I asked you but to give me some lard,
But it seems that you cannot learn!

My fryin' pan is on the stove,gettin' hot,
I said, "sweet papa, put some grease in my pot!".
I need a-plenty grease in my fryin' pan,
'Cause I don't want my meat to burn!
