Well, please, ma'am, just a lovin' spoon, just a lovin' spoonful
I couldn't let her stay for my lovin', my lovin' spoonful
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin', I found her
I declare, I got to have my lovin' spoonful
Well, please, ma'am, just a lovin' spoon, just a lovin' spoonful
Ain't Maxwell House all right?
Well, I'm just got to have my lovin'
I've got to go to Memphis, bring her back to Leland
Some said to Memphis and some said to Leland
Good mornin', baby, how you do this mornin'?
Do me much good as two or three cups this other coffee
I declare, I got to have my lovin' spoonful
I wanna see my baby 'bout a lovin' spoonful, my lovin' spoonful
Cookin' a good Maxwell House, she moved away
If I can get me just a spoonful of Maxwell's House
Some good Maxwell's House, you understand?
Just like it says on the can, I used to have a girl
He laid his Bible down for his lovin'
But I found her, I wanted her to cook me
My baby packed her suitcase and she went away
Good mornin', baby, how you do this mornin'?
Well, the preacher in the pulpit, jumpin' up and down
