That's All
Gene Ammons And His All-Stars Lyrics

A man works hard then comes on home,
After working hard, a man returns home

Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone.
He expects to find stew made with the ham bone

He opens the door, then start to lookin',
He opens the door and starts looking for the stew

Says, Woman, what's this stuff you're cookin'?
He asks the woman what kind of food she's cooking

All that meat and no potatoes
Just having meat without potatoes isn't enough

Just ain't right, like green tomatoes.
It's just not right, like eating unripe tomatoes

Here I'm waiting, palpitatin',
He's waiting and getting excited for the food

For all that meat and no potatoes.
He's waiting for the complete dish, not just meat

All that meat and no potatoes
Having just meat is still insufficient

All that food to the alligators, yes.
All that food will just go to waste

Hold me steady. I am ready
He's ready for the complete dish

For all that meat and no potatoes.
He's still waiting for both meat and potatoes

I don't think that peas are bad.
He likes peas

With meat most anything goes.
He's open to mixing meat with other ingredients

I look into the pot. I'm fit to fight
He's angry about what he sees in the pot

'Cause, woman, you know that mess ain't right.
He's blaming the woman for cooking the food poorly

All that meat and no potatoes
Just meat isn't enough for him

Just ain't right, like green tomatoes.
It's just not right to have only meat

Woman, I'm steamin'. I'm really screamin'
He's angry and shouting at the woman

All that meat and no potatoes.
He's still unsatisfied with just meat

Where is my fry and ham bone? Where is it?
He's questioning where the ham bone and other components of the dish are
