The only words he sings are: "Ain't got no T-bone, got mashed potatoes" /* End of text from ISM780B:net.music */ Actually, its "Got mashed potatoes" over and over, with an occasional "Ain't got no T-bone" to keep it interesting :-). Think of it as an instrumental cut. Another almost-instrumental, by Tom Verlaine (Television), featured this conversational exchange: She said, "dream dreams the dreamer". I said, "It's not my fault." At least he didn't repeat this over and over! (the song was called "The Dream's Dream", btw).
