T-Bone deserves special mention as it is really all
about food. Two lines are repeated throughout, here is the first verse:
Got Mashed Potatoes
Got Mashed Potatoes
Got Mashed Potatoes
Ain’t Got No T-Bone
Ain’t Got No T-Bone
Nine more similar verses. It is a bit over nine minutes long, music very simple and repetitive too. Gotta be a fan to sit through it. Does have a great little guitar lead/fill right after the last T-Bone in each verse that just from memory will be ringing in my mind as I go for a run.

Sold in the market down in New Orleans

Hear him whip the women just around midnight
