My wife looked at me and she smiled,
said, "I did not go to the mercantile
Now for once all my eggs are alone,
and I ain't got no meat, nothing here but a bone."

I've just got to get a sausage to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and breakfast will be through, hold on, hold on.

I told her that I'm not that hungry, and if we have no ham, please don't you worry.
And baby don't you know, we'll be makin' bacon before I go.

I've just got to get a sausage to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and breakfast will be through, hold on, hold on.

Well she laughed but that didn't hurt,
and it's only her love that keeps me eating knockwurst.
But I'm lying 'cuz deep down inside, I want my steak to be chicken fried

I've just got to get a sausage to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and breakfast will be through, hold on, hold on.
