Paul Williams - A Mess Of Mamas Barbecue Ukulele

F
When you meet somebody that don't like soul food
Bb
They still got a soul
C
And it don't mean that you got no rhythm
F
If you don't like rock 'n roll
F
But if your tastes are like mine you like cider not wine
Bb
And your very favorite thing to do
C
Is get a perty girl dancin' to jug-band music
                          F
And a mess of mama's barbecue

Chorus:
Bb
Barbecue lifts my spirit
F
I swear that it never fails
G
And the sauce mama makes just stays there forever
C
If you dare to get it under your nails

F
Well you may be poor with a wolf at your door
Bb
But money isn't everything
C
You still got your song and a river full of fun
F
And you'll always have a song to sing
F
So get the frown off your face
                      Bb
We're gonna replace it with a grin and a dream come true
C
With a perty girl dancin' to jug-band music
                         F
And a mess of mama's barbecue

Chorus:
Bb
Barbecue lifts my spirit
F
I swear that it never fails
G
And the sauce mama makes just stays there forever
C
If you dare to get it under your nails

G
So get the frown off your face
                       C
We're gonna replace it with a grin and a dream come true
D
With a perty girl dancin' to jug-band music
                          G
And a mess of mama's barbecue
D
That's a perty girl dancin' to jug-band music
And a mess of mama's barbe-
Mess of mama's barbe-
                      G
Mess of mama's barbecue!
