Closest to the boneSweeter is the meatLast slice of Virginia hamIs the best that you can eatDon't talk about my babyShe's slender but she's sweetClosest to the boneAnd sweeter is the meatNow she'd make a good thermometerIf she drank a glass of wineShe's built just like a garter snakeShe climbs up like a vineMy friends tell me I'm a foolTo love a girl like thatHere's the reason I like 'em slimInstead of big and fat'Cause, closest to the boneSweeter is the meatLast slice of Virginia hamIs the best that you can eatNow don't talk about my babyShe's slender but she's sweetUmm, closest to the boneAnd sweeter is the meatLet's goYeah, let's goYeah, boyAttaboyOne more, one moreOne more, one moreYeah, boyIn the moonlightYeah, closest to the bone, yeahAh, look out nowNow she'd make a first class fountain penIf she only knew how to writeHer figure's like a piece of stringUm, she rolls up every nightEverybody thinks that I'm a nutTo love this lovely wormBoy there's one reason I like 'em slimInstead of round and firm'Cause, Closest to the boneSweeter is the meatLast slice of Virginia hamIs the best that you can eatNow don'cha talk about my babyShe's slender but she's sweet, umClosest to the boneUm, swee, I got another one now, listen hereUm, she'd make a fine piccoloIf she only stayed on keyBoy she's shaped like a rubber bandAnd she loves to snap at meEverybody thinks I'm insaneTo overlook her faultsBut here's the reason I like 'em skinnyInstead of full of schmaltz'Cause, closest to the boneSweeter is the meatLast slice of Virginia hamIs the best that you can eatDon't talk about my babyShe's slender but she's sweetAnd it's closest to the boneAnd sweeter is the meat
