about

I've played a lot of Blues and Roots Festivals, and somehow BBQ always seems to be involved. People have been grilling stuff over fire since...well, since we figured fire out, I guess. And a good thing, too.

lyrics

BBQ

Times are hard for a working slob
When you lose your house and you lose your job
We had to move to the swamp in a little bitty shack
‘Cause that big-time job ain’t a-comin’ back
Well, you can’t worry ‘bout what you might have had
And to tell the truth, things ain’t so bad
You know there’s one thing we can do
That’s to head on down to the BBQ

I’m goin’ to the BBQ, I’m goin’ to the BBQ
I’m goin’ to the BBQ with you

There’ll be wrestlers wrestling in a big ol’ cage
And a cool blues band playin’ on the stage
A barker barkin’ out all hell-bent
‘Bout the Cootchie Girls he’s got in his tent
But that’s all really just beside the point
‘Cause the reason that we came to this joint
Though the wrestlers, band and the girls are cool
What we’re really here for is the BBQ

I’m goin’ to the BBQ, I’m goin’ to the BBQ
I’m goin’ to the BBQ with you

Well the chef he’s big, 300 pounds
And he cooks the best BBQ around
If you take a bite, it’ll make you smile
You’ll want a little more in just a little while
You can spend more money at a pricey scene
At a fancy table eatin’ haute cusine
Though French cooks there might shout “sacre bleu”
There is nothing better than the BBQ!!!

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
