Memphis Soul Stew

Memphis Soul Stew

King Kurtis (1934-1971)

Today's special is Memphis Soul Stew

We sell so much of this, people wonder what we put in it

We gonna tell you right now

Give me about a half a teacup of bass

(bass riff)

Now I need a pound of fatback drums

(drum riff)

Now give me 4 tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars

This goin' taste alright

(guitar riff)

Now just a little pinch of organ

(organ riff)

Now give me a half a pint of horn

(sax riff)

Place on the burner and bring to a boil

That's it, that's it, that's it right there.

Now beat, well.

(all instrumental hell breaks loose)
