Ooh when I was a little boy  Only one or two  The first thing that I did enjoy  Was a plate of barbeque  Barbeque sliced beef and bread  Ribs and sausage and a cold Big Red  Barbeque makes old ones feel young  Barbecue makes everybody someone  If you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do  Treat yourself to some meat -- eat some barbeque  Now there was once this girl I knew  She treated me so mean  I offered her my barbeque  She licked my platter clean  Barbeque sliced beef and bread  Ribs and sausage and a cold Big Red  Barbeque makes old ones feel young  Barbecue makes everybody someone  If you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do  Treat yourself to some meat -- eat some barbeque  Don't give me no broccoli  Or any Swiss fondue  Baby if you wanna rock me  Give me good ole barbeque  Barbeque sliced beef and bread  Ribs and sausage and a cold Big Red  Barbeque makes old ones feel young  Barbecue makes everybody someone  If you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do  Treat yourself to some meat -- eat some barbeque  Now, don't send me to heaven  It ain't where I should go  'Cause the Devil's got a charcoal pit  And a good fire down below  Barbeque sliced beef and bread  Ribs and sausage and a cold Big Red  Barbeque makes old ones feel young  Barbecue makes everybody someone  If you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do  Treat yourself to some meat  Let your feet hit the street  Find a good place to eat  Get some barbeque
