Little Beat’s

(Mark Barker)

You want some real good eats head down to Little Beat’s
That little lady sure lays out a spread
She’ll serve a bowl of soup beans with turnip greens
A slice of onion and a pone of her cornbread
And then to chase it all down you get fresh brewed sassafras tea
I swear that little lady’s cookins' gonna make a fat man out of me

If you’re bad to like to munch you won’t find a better lunch
You know she’s got a different special every day
Let me warn you friend, you're gonna get a double chin
And Little Beat won’t have it any other way
She’s gonna pile it on high then come around and ask you if you’d like more
You’re gonna eat yourself silly anytime that you walk through her door

Cream corn & mashed potatoes served with fried green tomatoes
Green beans and fried okra on the side
Fried chicken, roast beef and let me reassure you chief
Her pork and dressing is the best you ever tried
And to top it all off you got to have a slice of homemade pie
Make your tongue slap your eyebrows, it’s enough to make a grown man cry
