When The Saints Go Marchin In Lyrics - Louis Prima

Closest to the bone 

Sweeter is the meat 

Last slice of Virginia ham 

Is the best that you can eat 

Don't talk about my baby 

She's slender but she's sweet 

Closest to the bone 

And sweeter is the meat 

Now she'd make a good thermometer 

If she drank a glass of wine 

She's built just like a garter snake 

She climbs up like a vine 

My friends tell me I'm a fool 

To love a girl like that 

Here's the reason I like 'em slim 

Instead of big and fat

'Cause closest to the bone 

Sweeter is the meat 

Last slice of Virginia ham 

Is the best that you can eat 

Now don't talk about my baby 

She's slender but she's sweet 

Um, closest to the bone 

And sweeter is the meat 

Let's go 

Yeah, let's go, yeah, boy 

Attaboy 

One more, one more 

One more, one more 

Yeah, boy 

In the moonlight 

Yeah, closest to the bone, yeah 

Ah, look out now 

Photos 

Now she'd make a first class fountain pen 

If she only knew how to write 

Her figure's like a piece of string 

Um, she rolls up every night 

Everybody thinks that I'm a nut 

To love this lovely worm 

Boy there's one reason I like 'em slim 

Instead of round and firm 

'Cause closest to the bone 

Sweeter is the meat 

Last slice of Virginia ham 

Is the best that you can eat 

Now don'cha talk about my baby 

She's slender but she's sweet, um 

Closest to the bone 

Um, sweet, I got another one now 

Listen here 

Um, she'd make a fine piccolo 

If she only stayed on key 

Boy, she's shaped like a rubber band 

And she loves to snap at me 

Everybody thinks I'm insane 

To overlook her faults 

But here's the reason I like 'em skinny 

Instead of full of schmaltz 

'Cause closest to the bone 

Sweeter is the meat 

Last slice of Virginia ham 

Is the best that you can eat 

Don't talk about my baby 

She's slender but she's sweet 

And it's closest to the bone 

And sweeter is the meat
