Don't Use All the Gravy

I was eating mashed potatoes at the smorgasbord
When I met you
We talked a bit, we talked about the food on our plates
I turned you onto something new
Now every gravy day you've got to go there to eat
Those spuds are just so easy to chew
And now you got gravy you put wherever you like
Can you put down that gravy spoon?

Don't.  Don't use all the…
You know I cannot eat it when potatoes don't have gravy
Don't.  Don't use all the…
You know I can't believe it when I see where you put gravy

My mashed taters deprived
Of that gravy that's divine
But really why the heck would you put it on jello?

Don't use all the gravy
Don't use all the… Oh!
Don't use all the gravy
Don't use all the… Oh!

We were eating mashed potatoes at the smorgasbord
That much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better taste
Mixing this with that type food
The fine gravy I've had has been such a good kind
For topping food
But now I think I find it's what I like on jello
I guess it's just what I must do

Don't.  Don't use all the…
You know I cannot eat it when potatoes don't have gravy
Don't.  Don't use all the…
You know I can't believe it when I see where you put gravy

My mashed taters deprived
Of that gravy that's divine
And really why the heck do you put it on jello?

Don't use all the gravy
Don't use all the… Oh!
Don't use all the gravy
Don't use all the… Oh!
