Blue Plate Specials - Something on the Side lyrics

I like ribs, I like chicken T-Bone steak gets my heart tickin' But I need something on the side Even when your main dish is something delicious Get yourself a little something on the side You ladies know, your 1-course supper Isn't always a filler-upper You need something on the side. When your a la carte is just the start Get yourself a little something on the side I like cornbread, black-eyed beans Sweet potatoes, collard greens I need something on the side When you're on a mission for some extra nutrition Get yourself a little something on the side Something on the side, a little gravy in the pot Something on the side that's steaming hot Something on the side that's warm and sweet Something on the side, a little bread with your meat If your main corse don't keep you satisfied Get yourself a little something on the side.
