You smell like the ground, mama
Gimme your hambone, baby

You look like downtown
Gimme your hambone, baby

I feel like a ?dime
Mama, your run like a ?crown
Gimme your hambone, baby
Gimme your hambone

Yeah……

Your papa don’t like me,
But your mama sold me iced tea
Fork over you hambone, baby
Gimme your hambone

I could climb your trellis
faster than all the other fellas
Gimme your hambone, baby
Gimme your hambone

Yeah……..

I can’t eat without it baby,
Oh, your hambone

I can’t sleep with out it baby,
Oh, your hambone

I can’t dress without it baby,
Oh, no your hambone

I can’t sleep with out it baby,
Oh, no your hambone
(repeat a few times)

Yeah, your hambone, baby…..
