Lam' Lam' Lam' 1900

A coon who heard the praises sung
of chicken on ev'ry side,
he got excited and den he got so mad
he almost cried,
says he I think dis chicken craze
is a libel on de colored race,
a man don't have to be stuck on fowl
just because he's black in de face.
I know lots of coons
crazy as loons
eat chicken day and night,
but as for me I can't agree
my tastes are the same as white.
I don't go back on canvas back,
I'm fond of little neck clams,
but my favorite flesh I must confess
is Lam' Lam' Lam'.

Cow meat am good and sweet
roast veal it am fine,
kidney stew, I love too,
pork chops am divine.
But of all de meats dats good to eat
from turkey down to ham
de one dat tickles ma palate de most
is Lam' Lam, Lam.
Lam'a Lam'a Lam'a

Cow meat am good and sweet
roast veal it am fine,
kidney stew, I love too,
pork chops am divine.
But of all de meats dats good to eat
from turkey down to ham
de one dat tickles ma palate de most
is Lam' Lam, Lam.

Dis coon he loved a yaller maid
who's name was Lucindy Lamb,
her father kept a butcher shop
and he took a dislike to Sam,
says he: "Now coon keep away from my house
my child you cannot wed."
Then Sam gave him one sheepish look
and to the butcher said:
Dere is lots of gals,
Suzies and Sals and Mandys by de score,
dat I could wed but on de dead Lucindy I adore.
I don't care a rap for your butcher shop
for your beef, pork, veal or ham,
but I'll win ma flame cause I likes her name,
it's Lam' Lam' Lam'

Cow meat am good and sweet
roast veal it am fine,
kidney stew, I love too,
pork chops am divine.
But of all de meats dats good to eat
from turkey down to ham
de one dat tickles ma palate de most
is Lam' Lam, Lam.
Lam'a Lam'a Lam'a

Cow meat am good and sweet
roast veal it am fine,
kidney stew, I love too,
pork chops am divine.
But of all de meats dats good to eat
from turkey down to ham
de one dat tickles ma palate de most
is Lam' Lam, Lam.
