Gravy Waltz (studio) Songtext
von Joe Williams

Pretty mama′s in the kitchen this glorious day
Smell the gravy simmerin' nearly half a mile away
Lady morning glory, I say, "Good morning to you"
Chirpy little chickadee told me that my baby was too

Well, she really ran to get her fryin′ pan
When she saw me comin'
Gonna get a taste before it goes to waste
This honeybee's hummin′
Mister weepin′ willow, I'm through with all of my faults
′Cause my baby's ready to do the ever new gravy waltz

Well, she really ran to get her fryin′ pan
When she saw me comin'
I′m gonna get a taste before it goes to waste
This honeybee's hummin'
Mister weepin′ willow, I′m through with all of my faults
'Cause my baby′s ready to do the ever new gravy waltz

Mister weepin' willow, I′m through with all of my faults
'Cause my baby is ready to do the ever new gravy
Mmm, nice gravy, dear, waltz
