Fix you a pot of soup and make you drink it up
 So keep on a-eating
 Oh, keep on a-eating
 Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

 You don't like nobody's cooking but mine
 Get up in the morning and fix you a tenderloin
 So keep on a-eating
 Oh, keep on a-eating
 Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

 Don't tell nobody that I tried to be tough
 I just got a man so hard to fill up
 So keep on a-eating
 Oh, keep on a-eating
 Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

 (spoken:
 Oh, play it now, Mr. Charlie
 Yes, man! Just keep on eating
 You'll get through it someday)

 I know you're crazy about your oysters and your shrimp and crab
 Take you around the corner and give you a chance to grab
 So keep on a-eating
 Oh, keep on a-eating
 Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

 I've cooked and cooked till I done got tired
 Can't fill you up off of my fried apple pie
 So keep on a-eating
 Oh, keep on a-eating
 Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

 I know you got a bad cold and you can't smell
 I ain't gonna give you something that I can't sell
 So keep on a-eating
 Oh, keep on a-eating
 Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough
