Just picture a lad, between Mom and Dad
Its Sunday the tables all set
ThereÔÇÖs uncles, thereÔÇÖs aunts, and cousins galore
ThereÔÇÖs plenty of food to be et
The blessing is said, they reach for the bread
ItÔÇÖs a feast a king could afford
ThereÔÇÖs clatter, thereÔÇÖs chatter, but somethingÔÇÖs the matter
ThereÔÇÖs someone whoÔÇÖs being ignored
(spoken)
Uh, would you please pass the biscuits?
Uh, would you pass the biscuits please?
Same thing ever Sunday since I canÔÇÖt remember when
Kinfolks all around the table and the biscuits at tuther end
I got a plate of chicken and taters, and a lot of stuff like that
All, all I need is a biscuit, but I wish youÔÇÖd look where theyÔÇÖre at
I guess I could reach across the table,
But thatÔÇÖs ill-mannered, Mom always said
I wish I had a biscuit, I just canÔÇÖt eat without bread
Uh, would you pass the biscuits
Uh, excuse me, would you please pass the biscuits
All I want is a biscuit, nobody seems to care
If they wouldnÔÇÖt talk so dog-gone loud
They might be able to hear
Hot doggies, theyÔÇÖre half-finished eatinÔÇÖ and I ainÔÇÖt even begun
I wish youÔÇÖd look at them biscuits disappear, IÔÇÖll be luck if I get a one
Same thing ever Sunday, always company to be fed
TheyÔÇÖre talkinÔÇÖ like theyÔÇÖre wound up
Boy, I wish I had a piece of bread
HEY!!!! Would, would, would you please pass the biscuits
It looks like somebody would notice that I ainÔÇÖt started eatinÔÇÖ yet
Sure be glad when they get their fill, and go into the parlor and set
Then, by golly, I wonÔÇÖt have to use my manners
IÔÇÖll just get a biscuit myself
Well, IÔÇÖll be a monkeyÔÇÖs uncle, there ainÔÇÖt a biscuit left
The only day of the week we get Sunday-fed
And theyÔÇÖve et up all the biscuits
And, uh, I just canÔÇÖt eat without bread
(singers)
ThereÔÇÖs something the matter, no bread on the platter
And he just canÔÇÖt eat without bread
