Memphis Soul Stew

Today's special is Memphis Soul Stew We sell so much of this, people wonder what we put in it We gonna tell you right now Give me about a half a teacup of bass Now I need a pound of fatback drums Now give me four tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars This goin' taste alright Now just a little pinch of organ Now give me a half a pint of horn Place on the burner and bring to a boil That's it, that's it, that's it right there. Now beat, well. --- Memphis Soul Stew - King Curtis
