Roasting Song

Let’s make it take all day
Let’s make it last all night
How I wish you would stay
Now it looks like you might
Maybe we could play a little tune in the moonlight
And if it takes all day, you’d better spend the night
We’ll get some hickory wood
Let it start to soak
They say the oldest trees
Make the sweetest smoke
Then we’ll light a fire
Until it glows
On a bed of coals
We’re gonna roast it slow
Let’s make it take all day
Let’s make it last all night
How I wish you would stay
Now it looks like you might
Maybe we could play a little tune in the moonlight
And if it takes all day, you’d better spend the night
Here’s some salt and spice
Go on, rub it up
Bring on the Holy Ghost
We’re sure to have enough
Bring that Bible down, that stuff is old and good
Strays be coming around from the whole neighborhood
We’ll make it take all day
We’ll make it last all night
How I wish you would stay
Now it looks like you might
Maybe we could play a little tune in the moonlight
And if it takes all day, you’d better spend the night
Tomatoes right, molasses slow
Cayenne heat, let the lava flow
Put on the fire, put off the bone
We’ll be eating swine ‘til the cows come home
Let’s make it take all day
Let’s make it last all night
How I wish you would stay
Now it looks like you might
Maybe we could play a little tune in the moonlight
And if it takes all day, you’d better spend the night
