I'm gonna tell you the truth, ain't gonna tell you no lie,
I'm crazy 'bout 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
Before you give it all away!
If it's good for a man aged eighty three,
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
Before you give it all away!
I'm gonna tell you somethin', don't tell nobody else,
I wants that pie all by myself!
You got to give me some of it,
You got to give me some of it,
You got to give me some of it
Before you give it all away!
Come on babe and be nice,
I want you to 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
Before you give it all away!
I'm gonna do something, do it right now,
I'm gonna buy me a week's supply!
You got to give me some of it,
You got to give me some of it,
You got to give me some of it
Before you give it all away!
Well boys, sayin' I have to go,
Can't get a dish, she can't give me no more!
She got to give me some of it,
She got to give me some of it,
She got to give me some of it
Before she give it all away!
