Mabel Songtext
von Procol Harum

Don′t eat green meat, it ain't good for you
Killed your brother, killed your sister, too
Even fresh fried chicken on new-mown sand
Can′t beat red beans eaten outa your hand

Oh, Mabel, Mabel
You know I love you, gal, but I'm not able
Mabel, oh, Mabel
Please, get off the kitchen table


Don't slice no onions, don′t peel no grape
Dream about banana slice nor sniff around shortcake
And if on a winter′s day you find your sundial's wrong
You′ll know the weather is what's brought it on

Oh, Mabel, Mabel
You know I love you, gal, but I′m not able
Mabel, oh, Mabel
Please, get off the kitchen table

Put the peas on the pot, put the pot on the hot
In the cellar lies my wife, in my wife there's a knife
So tote that hammer, lift that pick
Banish inhibition with a pogo stick


Oh, Mabel, Mabel
You know I love you, gal, but I′m not able
Oh, Mabel, oh, Mabel
Please, get off the kitchen table
