AOooh when I was a little boy
AOnly one or two
AThe first thing I did enjoy
Was a Aplate of barbeque
Chorus: (walk up to D)
DBarbeque sliced beef and bread
DRibs and sausage and a cold Big Red
ABarbeque makes old ones feel young
ABarbeque makes everybody someone
EIf you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do
Treat Dyourself to some meat eat some barbeAque
ANow there was a girl I knew
AShe treated me so mean
AI offered her my Barbeque
She Alicked my platter clean
Chorus: (walk up to D)
DBarbeque sliced beef and bread
DRibs and sausage and a cold Big Red
ABarbeque makes old ones feel young
ABarbeque makes everybody someone
EIf you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do
Treat Dyourself to some meat eat some barbeAque
ADon't give me no broccoli
AOr any Swiss fondue
ABaby if you want to rock me
Give me Agood ole barbeque
Chorus: (walk up to D)
DBarbeque sliced beef and bread
DRibs and sausage and a cold Big Red
ABarbeque makes old ones feel young
ABarbeque makes everybody someone
EIf you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do
Treat Dyourself to some meat eat some barbeAque
ADon't send me to heaven
AIt ain't where I should go
ACause the Devil's got a charcoal pit
And a Agood fire down below
Chorus: (walk up to D)

Oooh when I was a little boy

The first thing I did enjoy

Was a plate of barbeque

Ribs and sausage and a cold Big Red

Barbeque makes old ones feel young

Barbeque makes everybody someone

If you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do

Treat yourself to some meat eat some barbeque

Now there was a girl I knew

She treated me so mean

I offered her my Barbeque

She licked my platter clean

Ribs and sausage and a cold Big Red

Barbeque makes old ones feel young

Barbeque makes everybody someone

If you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do

Treat yourself to some meat eat some barbeque

Don't give me no broccoli
