Lyrics
As far as I can tell
when I was only three
I was a hoppin' and a boppin'
upon my Daddy's knee
Listenin' to each word
that my Daddy say
Tryin' to understand the wisdom mornin', noon, and night each day
he'd say
[Chorus]
Don't call, Don't Call Me Late for Dinner
Don't call, don't call,
Don't Call Me Late for Dinner
Call me anything you want
but if you call me late for dinner it's better not to call me at all
My baby come on home late
last Saturday night
Was two sheets to the wind
so we got into a fight
Fussin' and cussin'
until we both got sore
Say, "I don't care where you been, but babe
before you slam that door
[Chorus]
Don't feed me lies
'bout no pie in the sky
Don't temp me with no piece
of chocolate cake
Just pass the peas
and the mash potatoes please
and step aside an'
watch me fill my plate, and
[Chorus]
