I tell all you people, you can rest and eat
You don't have to worry about cookin', go to North Memphis cafe and eat
I tell all you people, you can rest and eat
Because the North Memphis cafe got everything that you really need
I don't buy no wood, even buy no coal
I go to North Memphis cafe and eat and don't be a dope
I tell all you people, you can rest and eat
You don't have to worry about cookin', go to North Memphis cafe and eat
I will tell y'all somethin', I don't change like the wind
If you go to North Memphis cafe eat you'll go back again
I tell all you people, you can rest and eat
Because the North Memphis cafe got everything that you really need
Now listen to me, good people, I don't aim to make you mad
You go to North Memphis cafe and get somethin' you never had
I tell all you people, you can rest and eat
Because the North Memphis cafe got everything that you really need
__________
Note 1: instead of "rest and eat" it could be "rest at ease";
Note 2: dope, a stupid person.
