I Hope I Didn't Bore You Too

In Public, I Like Real Conservative Clothes, Something That's Not Too Flashy. But Onstage, I Like 'em As Flashy As You Can Get 'em.

The Colored Folks Been Singing It And Playing It Just Like I'm Doin' Now, Man, For More Years Than I Know. I Got It From Them.

I Like Pork Chops And Country Ham, Creamed Potatoes, Stuff Like That. Redeye Gravy. It Comes From Ham, Bacon, Stuff Like That. It's The Grease That You Fry It In. I Eat A Lot Of Jell-o. Fruit Jell-o.

Just Because I Managed To Do A Little Something, I Don't Want Anyone Back Home To Think I Got The Big Head.

I'm Not Kidding Myself. My Voice Alone Is Just An Ordinary Voice. What People Come To See Is How I Use It. If I Stand Still While I'm Singing, I'm Dead, Man. I Might As Well Go Back To Driving A Truck.
