Ooh-oh, they call me the meat man
You oughta see me eat man
Ooh, they call me the meat man
You oughta say meat man, look a-here

I got jaws like a bear trap, teeth like a razor
A mean tied tongue with a sensitive taste
I was born in Texas, the land of beef
I don't care much for greens, but I sure like meat

I'm the meat man
You oughta see me eat man
Ooh-my, I'm the meat man
You oughta see me eat man

Been down to Macon
Ate the furs of a Georgia peach
I plucked a chicken in Memphis
Mama, still got the feathers in my teeth
I ate a pound of pork in Huntsville
From a fine Alabama hog
Ate a charcoal steak in Dallas
And fed the bone to a stray wet (Louisiana) dog

I'm the meat man
You oughta see me eat man
Oh, I'm the meat man
You oughta see me eat man

Lord, it don't make me no difference
Just as long as it's good meat
The meat man got no preference
If it's dog or rat, I'll eat it
It don't have to be U.S. government approved
Or stamped with a rate 'A' seal
Just as long it's lean and full of protein
Mama, feed it to me here for a meal

Lord, I'm the meat man
You oughta see me eat man
Oh, I'm the meat man
You oughta see me eat man

Look out mama!
I got jaws like a bear trap, teeth like a razor
A mean tied tongue with a sensitive taste
I was born in Texas, the land of beef
Never cared much for greens, but I'm a hunk about meat

I'm the meat man
You oughta see me eat man
Ooh, I'm the meat man
You oughta see me eat man
