King Curtis — Memphis Soul Stew lyrics

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
Now I need a pound of fatback drums
Now give me four tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars
This goin' taste alright
Now just a little pinch of organ
Now give me a half a pint of horn
Place on the burner and bring to a boil
That’s it, that’s it, that’s it right there.
Now beat, well.
