All That Meat And No Potatoes
Composer(s): Ed Kirkeby - Fats Waller
Performer(s): Fats Waller
and multiple other artists



A man works hard, then comes on home
Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone
He opens the door then start to lookin'
Says, "Woman, what's this stuff you're cookin'?"

All that meat, and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Yeah, I'm waiting, palpatatin'
But all that meat, and no potatoes

All that meat, and no potatoes
All that food, to the alligators, yeah
Hold me steady, I am ready
With all that meat and no potatoes

I don't think that peas are bad
With me, most anything goes
I look in the pot, I'm fit to fight
'Cause woman, you know that mess ain't right

All that meat, and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Yes, I'm steamin', I'm really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes

(Where's my fine hambone? Where is it?
