Got out late last night, in the rain and sleet
Tryin' to find a butcher that grind my meat
Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher
He must be long and tall
If he want to grind my meat
Cause I'm wild about my meat balls

A no good man but he's so doggone stout
Before he starts to grindin' he's all worn out
Somebody send me a butcher
He must be long and tall
If he want to grind my meat
Cause I'm wild about my meat balls

He can clean my fish, even pick my crabs
But what I need is my meat ground bad
Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher
He must be long and tall
If he want to grind my meat
Cause I'm wild about my meat balls

You can have your roast chicken and your good lamb stew
But for my choice them old meat balls will do
Somebody send me a butcher
He must be long and tall
If he want to grind my meat
Cause I'm wild about my meat balls

Now look here papa, don't try to stall
If you can't grind a long time, don't grind at all
Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher
He must be long and tall
If he want to grind my meat
Cause I'm wild about my meat balls
