King curtis memphis soul stew lyrics

Today's special is Memphis Soul Stew

We sell so much of this, people wonder what we put in it

We gonna tell you right now

Give me about a half a teacup     of bass

(bass riff)

Now I need a pound of fatback drums

(drum riff)

Now give me 4 tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars

This goin' taste alright

(guitar riff)

Now just a little pinch of organ

(organ riff)

Now give me a half a pint of horn

(sax riff)

Place on the burner and bring to a boil

That's it, that's it, that's it right there.

Now beat,     well.

(all instrumental hell breaks loose)
