I Want Plenty Grease in My Frying Pan

I Want Plenty Grease in My Frying Pan - Memphis Slim

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
