Lo-fi & Gravy

"Mom mom's gravy is awesome!" "She has the best meatballs!" "You don't wash the pot!" "Just let it cook!" It's a quarter of five Family's waiting on our party of four to arrive It's not Thanksgiving, Christmas, or the Fourth of July It's just a Sunday In Ordinary Time I'm living for the lady in red She's amazingly dressed Her texture's got a flavorful zest Steaming hot and so Tomatoey fresh And I'm not talking about grandma, but her gravy's the best That aroma puts the block in a coma It's a wonderful waft that you could smell from Oklahoma There's enough to go around, for me, you and the roaches It could bring world peace if we never held our noses Step into the parlor like a pack of sardines Got the taste of garlic entering my bloodstream Jeopardy's on TV, everybody's screaming Can't hear myself think Maybe that's the way it should be Who makes the best gravy? My mother My mother My mother Who makes the best gravy? My mother My mother Yo motha! Who makes the best gravy? My mother My mother My mother Who makes the best gravy? My mother My mother What time's the pizza coming? Mix it up Stir it up Simmer down I know the whole pot seems endless, pal But there's gotta be a bottom somewhere, somehow It just doesn't have to be now You got room for dessert? Gonna need it 'cause we got a whole room for dessert Take a Tylenol because your sweet tooth's gonna hurt No crying 'cause there's other peeps who got it worse Bring it all to the table 'Cause your seat may be gone later Thank the baker Do a couple favors for your neighbor And next time don't be a stranger A waste of cake is a waste of time Get that measuring tape away from that waist of mine Another day another sunrise So, I'll see you on the other side Who makes the best gravy? My mother My mother My mother Who makes the best gravy? My mother My mother Yo motha! Who makes the best gravy? My mother My mother My mother Who makes the best gravy? My mother My mother Yo motha! "It's always better with family." "And always better with gravy and meatballs and love." "Right." "I think if you stick a Hershey bar in the gravy, all these kids will eat that." "You know, you're gonna pay for that! I don't care!" "Nobody will take your trash out, don't invite me then! That's all I got to say!" "Yeah?" "You use your can, I use my can."
