[00:00:14] We're gonnna have a supper

[00:00:17] We'll eat some food that's rare

[00:00:21] And at the head of the table

[00:00:24] We'll place brother Henry's chair

[00:00:27] Invite all the local big dogs

[00:00:30] We'll laugh and talk and eat

[00:00:34] But we'll' save the bones for Henry Jones

[00:00:37] 'Cause Henry don't eat no meat

[00:00:40] Today I'll go to market

[00:00:44] Buy a lot of fish

[00:00:46] Well that will thrill brother Henry

[00:00:50] Because fish is special dish

[00:00:54] Get a large can of molasses

[00:00:57] Have something really sweet

[00:01:00] But we'll save the bones for Henry Jones

[00:01:04] 'Cause Henry don't eat no meat

[00:01:07] Henry is not a drinker

[00:01:10] He rarely takes a nip

[00:01:14] He don't need a napkin

[00:01:17] 'Cause the things he eats don't drip drip

[00:01:20] One day we had a banquet

[00:01:24] It really was a bake

[00:01:27] They started off with short ribs

[00:01:30] They finished off with a steak

[00:01:34] But when the feat was over

[00:01:37] Brother Henry just kept his seat

[00:01:40] And we served the bones to Henry Jones

[00:01:44] 'Cause Henry don't eat no meat

[00:02:00] Our banquet was most proper

[00:02:03] Right down to demitasse

[00:02:06] From soup to lox and bagels

[00:02:10] And pheasant under glass â class

[00:02:14] We thought the chops were mellow

[00:02:16] He said his chops were beat â reet

[00:02:20] We served the bones to Henry Jones

[00:02:23] 'Cause Henry don't eat no meat

[00:02:25] He's an egg man

[00:02:27] Henry don't eat no meat

[00:02:29] He loves a pullet Henry don't eat no meat

[00:02:32] A vegetarian

[00:02:33] Henry

[00:02:34] Coming mother

[00:02:37] Soup's on
