Says, I'm not jokin' an' I'm gonna tell you no lie
I want to eat your custard pie
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
'Fore you give it all away


I'm not braggin', but it's understood
Everything I do, I try to do it good
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
'Fore you give it all away


Now, your custard pie looks good an' nice
When you cut it, please save me a slice
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
'Fore you give it all away


Says, I don't care if you live 'cross the street
When you cut that pie, please save me a piece
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
'Fore you give it all away


Oh, it's good for a man eighty-three
You know good and well it's good enough for me
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
You got to give me some of it
'Fore you give it all away


Well, she bakes her pie with her damper turned down
She got the best pie in this New York town
Please give me some of it
Beggin' for some of it
Well, I want some of it
'Fore you give it all away
