Black Strap Molasses(Wheat Germ Bread) - Tex Williams/His Orchestra
Black strap molasses and the wheat germ bread
Makes you live so long you wish you were dead
You add some yogurt and you'll be well fed
With black strap molasses and the wheat germ bread
My grandpa's older than the old grey mare
He sits a-rockin' in his rockin' chair
But now he's got a smile that he can't lose
Grandma's sittin' knittin' baby shoes
From eatin' black strap molasses
And the wheat germ bread
Makes you live so long you wish you were dead
You add some yogurt and you'll be well fed
With black strap molasses and the wheat germ bread
I gave up cherry pie and T-bone steak
Chicken fricassee and ice cream cake
I don't need vitamins or pills at all
I even mix it with my Hadacol
I'm eatin' black strap molasses
And the wheat germ bread
Makes you live so long you wish you were dead
You add some yogurt and you'll be well fed
With black strap molasses
And the wheat germ bread
I know a fella who is ninety-two
Doctors told the guy that he was through
But now that the doctor wrong
He's got more hop in him than Hopalong
If you see her I will so cool
If you see her I will so fine
What would you do
You know I from eatin' black strap molasses
And the wheat germ bread
Makes you live so long you wish you were dead
You add some yogurt and you'll be well fed
With black strap molasses
And the wheat germ bread
