Lyrics

[00:06.04] Closest to the Bone
[00:09.17] Sweeter is the meat
[00:11.86] Last slice of Virginia ham
[00:14.16] Is the best that you can eat
[00:17.14] Don't talk about my baby
[00:19.48] She's slender but she's sweet
[00:22.66] Closest to the Bone
[00:24.90] And sweeter is the meat
[00:27.79] Now she'd make a good thermometer
[00:30.54] If she drank a glass of wine
[00:33.03] She's built just like a garter snake
[00:35.68] She climbs up like a vine
[00:38.32] My friends tell me I'm a fool
[00:40.97] To love a girl like that
[00:43.77] Here's the reason I like 'em slim
[00:46.25] Instead of big and fat
[00:48.62] 'Cause, closest to the bone
[00:52.35] Sweeter is the meat
[00:55.05] Last slice of Virginia ham
[00:57.19] Is the best that you can eat
[00:59.87] Now don't talk about my baby
[01:02.45] She's slender but she's sweet
[01:05.50] Umm, closest to the bone
[01:07.59] And sweeter is the meat
[01:10.55] Let's go
[01:12.74] Yeah, let's go
[01:15.43] Yeah, boy
[01:26.50] Attaboy
[01:29.24] One more, one more
[01:31.28] One more, one more
[01:33.45] Yeah, boy
[01:36.75] Sweeter is the meat
[01:42.08] Yeah, closest to the bone, yeah
[01:48.59] Ah, look out now
[02:38.70] Now she'd make a first class fountain pen
[02:41.61] If she only knew how to write
[02:44.16] Her figure's like a piece of string
[02:46.66] Um, she rolls up every night
[02:49.34] Everybody thinks that I'm a nut
[02:52.28] To love this lovely worm
[02:54.77] Boy there's one reason I like 'em slim
[02:57.26] Instead of round and firm
[02:59.60] 'Cause, Closest to the bone
[03:03.29] Sweeter is the meat
[03:06.03] Last slice of Virginia ham
[03:08.45] Is the best that you can eat
[03:10.90] Now don'cha talk about my baby
[03:13.84] She's slender but she's sweet, um
[03:16.79] Closest to the Bone
[03:18.79] Um, swee, I got another one now, listen here
[03:21.93] Um, she'd make a fine piccolo
[03:24.66] If she only stayed on key
[03:27.26] Boy she's shaped like a rubber band
[03:29.85] And she loves to snap at me
[03:32.87] Everybody thinks I'm insane
[03:35.30] To overlook her faults
[03:37.99] But here's the reason I like 'em skinny
[03:40.34] Instead of full of schmaltz
[03:42.83] 'Cause, closest to the bone
[03:46.53] Sweeter is the meat
[03:49.13] Last slice of Virginia ham
[03:51.56] Is the best that you can eat
[03:54.46] Don't talk about my baby
[03:56.65] She's slender but she's sweet
[03:59.66] And it's closest to the bone
[04:02.19] And sweeter is the meat
