Lyrics Meat's Too High - Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson

No I don't wanna bite, that meat's too hot for me
No I don't wanna bite, that meat's too hot for me
I used to get it for two dollars, way back in nineteen fifty three
Well I went to see my baby, she said daddy just relax
I went to see my baby, she said daddy just relax
But that night when I was leavin', I paid ten dollars luxury tax
Now you know this here inflation
Is kinda hard on a man
It caused me such aggravation
But I do the best I can
I'm gonna take a little vacation
Goin' from East to West
Take a survey of this nation
See who's causin' all this mess
No I don't wanna bite, no I can get it free
Well I don't wanna name the city, cause it might start a big stampede
