Bubba Spent The Night

Our son asked can a friend stay over
He just moved here from Dover
The friend says tonight is Friday and usually we have pig's innards
He says my name is Cleetus Billy Joe jim Bob Jones, after he stutters his name, it's time for dinner
But you can call me Bubba, he seems very polite
I pray for no nightmares as Bubba spends the night
I tell him we are having Makerel Cakes and Mac and Cheese


He says I will take four cakes and two helpings, if you please
Boy you sure do have an appetite
I tell my son our budget won't allow Bubba to ever again spend the night
Soon dinner is over and Bubba still wants to eat
I grab a funnel and melted bacon fat and tell him to have a seat
He says we eat fatback soup sometimes on a weekday
He tells me the doctor tells his whole family, that sometime their ateries will turn to clay
Bubba says I don't eat for calories, I eat for taste
I tell him if you keep eating like that you will become hazardous waste
He laughs and cheers in delight
This all happened when Cleetus Billy Joe Jim Bob Jones spent the night
At 2am he asks for a snack
I give him a sleeve of Ritz crackers and a pound of Monterey Jack
Then I hand him a jar of Grey Puopon
He says after I eat this, there may be trouble in your john
He smiles and asks for a Diet Coke
He says with a mouth full of Moneterey, I try to watch my health, I don't drink or smoke
In eight more hours, our budget will be alright
He asks when is the next time I can spend the night

    Why do you hate me when I say that I love you
    Why must I beg for you to keep your loving true
