Close To The Bone - Lifebeats
Written by：RR/Louis M. Jones
Closest to the bone
Sweeter is the meat
Last slice of Virginia ham
Is the best that you can eat
Don't talk about my baby
She's slender but she's sweet
Closest to the bone
And sweeter is the meat
Now she'd make a good thermometer
If she drank a glass of wine
She's built like a garter snake
She climbs up like a vine
My friends tell me I'm a fool
To love a girl like that
Here's the reason I like 'em slim
Instead of big and fat
'Cause closest to the bone
Sweeter is the meat
Last slice of Virginia ham
Is the best that you can eat
Now don't talk about my baby
She's slender but she's sweet
Closest to the bone
Sweeter is the meat
Ah look out now
Now she'd make a first class fountain pen
She only knew how to write
Figure's like a piece of string
She rolls up every night
Everybody thinks that I'm a nut
To love this lovely worm
There's one reason I like 'em slim
Instead of round and firm
'Cause closest to the bone
Sweeter is the meat
Last slice of Virginia ham
Is the best that you can eat
Don't talk about my baby
She's slender but she's sweet
Closest to the bone
And sweeter is the meat
She'd make a fine piccolo
If she only stayed on key
She's gonna shaped like a rubber band
And she loves to snap at me
Everybody thinks I'm insane
To overlook her faults
Here's the reason I like 'em skinny
Instead of full of schmaltz
'Cause closest to the bone
Sweeter is the meat
Last slice of Virginia ham
Is the best that you can eat
Don't talk about my baby
She's slender but she's sweet
Closest to the bone
Sweeter is the meat
