Save the Bones for Henry Jones - Johnny Mercer/Nat King Cole[00:00:01]

Written by：Danny Barker/Henry Jones/Michael H. Goldsen[00:00:03]

We're gonnna have a supper[00:00:14]

We'll eat some food that's rare[00:00:17]

And at the head of the table[00:00:21]

We'll place brother Henry's chair[00:00:24]

Invite all the local big dogs[00:00:27]

We'll laugh and talk and eat[00:00:30]

But we'll' save the bones for Henry Jones[00:00:34]

'Cause Henry don't eat no meat[00:00:37]

Today I'll go to market[00:00:40]

Buy a lot of fish[00:00:44]

Well that will thrill brother Henry[00:00:46]

Because fish is special dish[00:00:50]

Get a large can of molasses[00:00:54]

Have something really sweet[00:00:57]

But we'll save the bones for Henry Jones[00:01:00]

'Cause Henry don't eat no meat[00:01:04]

Henry is not a drinker[00:01:07]

He rarely takes a nip[00:01:10]

He don't need a napkin[00:01:14]

'Cause the things he eats don't drip drip[00:01:17]

One day we had a banquet[00:01:20]

It really was a bake[00:01:24]

They started off with short ribs[00:01:27]

They finished off with a steak[00:01:30]

But when the feat was over[00:01:34]

Brother Henry just kept his seat[00:01:37]

And we served the bones to Henry Jones[00:01:40]

'Cause Henry don't eat no meat[00:01:44]

Our banquet was most proper[00:02:00]

Right down to demitasse[00:02:03]

From soup to lox and bagels[00:02:06]

And pheasant under glass â class[00:02:10]

We thought the chops were mellow[00:02:14]

He said his chops were beat â reet[00:02:16]

We served the bones to Henry Jones[00:02:20]

'Cause Henry don't eat no meat[00:02:23]

He's an egg man[00:02:25]

Henry don't eat no meat[00:02:27]

He loves a pullet Henry don't eat no meat[00:02:29]

A vegetarian[00:02:32]

Henry[00:02:33]

Coming mother[00:02:34]

Soup's on[00:02:37]
