[Intro]

Man, that smells good

[Verse 1]

I can't get rich, I can't make a living

But I sure do something for the neighborhood women

I wake up every morning with 'em knocking at my door

You can't keep 'em waiting when they're begging for more

[Chorus]

"Back, back," I hollered to my hound

"You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around"

I used to think they were after me

But they're just after my recipe

For good brown gravy (Good brown gravy)

I said good brown gravy (Good brown gravy)

[Verse 2]

You can sop it with a biscuit, you can eat it from a pan

You can lick it off your fingers when it's running down your hand

If I could get a backer, I could cause a big commotion

I could put it on the market, call it "Biscuit Lotion"

[Chorus]

"Back, back," I hollered to my hound

"You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around"

I used to think they were after me

But they're just after my recipe

For good brown gravy (Good brown gravy)

I said good brown gravy (Good brown gravy)

Oh, whip me up a batch, boy

[Bridge]

Well, Granny told my mama 'bout the power that it had

Good brown gravy is the way she got my dad

They tried to get me in the Army, tried to get me in the Navy

Just to get the secret of my good brown gravy

[Chorus]

"Back, back," I hollered to my hound

"You're supposed to keep 'em from coming around"

I used to think they were after me

But they're just after my recipe

For good brown gravy (Good brown gravy)

I said good brown gravy (Good brown gravy)

Good brown gravy (Good brown gravy)

I mean good brown gravy

[Outro]

Oh, love that brown gravy, yeah

Oh yeah, sing it, baby

Talkin' good brown gravy

Hey, Joe (What, Billy?)

What you got cooking in there, man?

Good brown gravy (Ow)

Want my, want my, want my good brown gravy

My good brown gravy, ooh

Could you pass the biscuits, please?

That a little Martha White?

What do you think of it, Billy?

Got a little bit thick, try another batch

Aunt B wouldn't like that
