Lyrics
Chorus
Meat and potatoes, fried eggs and ham
That’s the kind of guy I am
Meat and potatoes, blueberry pie
That’s the kinda guy am I
She’d be yearning for a soufflé
I’d be longing for a stew
The girl that I marry will have to be
Meat and potatoes, potatoes and meat like me
Chorus
Meat and potatoes, fried eggs and ham
Mixed with love, don’t mean a damn
Meat and potatoes, blueberry pie
Suits a doll who loves a guy
You’d get used to eating soufflé
She would learn to cook a stew
For you’re just a human, she’s human, too
Meat and potatoes, potatoes and meat like me
