Lyrics Save the Bones for Henry Jones - Johnny Mercer
We're
gonna
have
a
supper
We'll
eat
some
food
that's
rare
And
at
the
head
of
the
table
We'll
place
brother
Henry's
chair
Invite
all
the
local
big
dogs
We'll
laugh
and
talk
and
eat
But
we'll
save
the
bones
for
Henry
Jones
'Cause
Henry
don't
eat
no
meat
Today
I'll
go
to
market
Buy
up
a
lotta
fish
Well,
that
will
thrill
brother
Henry
'Cause
fish
is
his
special
dish
Get
a
large
can
of
molasses
Have
something
really
sweet
But
we'll
save
the
bones
for
Henry
Jones
'Cause
Henry
don't
eat
no
meat
Henry
is
not
a
drinker
He
rarely
takes
a
nip
He
don't
need
a
napkin
'Cause
the
things
he
eats
don't
drip
– blip!
One
day
we
had
a
banquet
It
really
was
a
bake
They
started
off
with
short
ribs
Then
finished
off
with
steak
But
when
the
feast
was
over
Brother
Henry
just
kept
his
seat
And
we
served
the
bones
to
Henry
Jones
'Cause
Henry
don't
eat
no
meat
Our
banquet
was
most
proper
Right
down
to
demitasse
From
soup
to
lox
and
bagels
And
pheasant
under
glass
– class!
We
thought
the
chops
were
mellow
He
said
his
chops
were
beat
– reet!
We
served
the
bones
to
Henry
Jones
'Cause
Henry
don't
eat
no
meat
He's
an
egg
man
Henry
don't
eat
no
meat
He
loves
a
pullet
Henry
don't
eat
no
meat
A
vegetarian
Henry?
Coming
mother!
