Lyrics
In the mountains of Tennessee
They like their smokey sauce
But over there in ol' Memphis
A dry rubbed rib is boss
The folks in Georgia
They can't make up their mind
You can give it to them sweet or spicy
And they'll say "That tastes alright"
And you might think the South Carolinians
Are just a little bit off
Would you believe their barbecue's yellow
With a mustard sauce?
Pork shoulder is the cut of choice
In Missi-ssissi-ssissi-ssippi
And they pride themselves on barbecue
That's totally vinegary
And Lou'siana them Cajuns
They like to spice it up
They like to spice it up
This is our review
Of barbecue
In the Southern United States
And when my life is through
Bury me in barbecue
But make sure it's vinegar based
'Cause you know that slows decay
And it's the style from our home state
Of North Carolina!
(Solo!)
Mutton is big in West Kentucky
That's a fancy name for sheep
But in the rest of the state
Sliced pork butt
Is what they eat
Arkansas's kinda like Georgia
A barbecue melting pot
And when you ain't looking them good ol' boys'll
Make that barbecue hot
Alabama's got the strangest thing
I've seen in my barbecue days
'Cause their barbecue sauce is white
Made out of mayonnaise
And down in Texas
Where the longhorn steer roam free
They love to smoke them brisket
That's a big ol' slab of beef
And down in Florida...
Is Florida a southern state?
Naw, it ain't
This is our review
Of barbecue
In the Southern United States
And when my life is through
Bury me in barbecue
People not from the South
Think barbecue means cookout
And that's somthing their wrong about
Barbecue is not a verb
And barbecue is not a grill
Barbecue is meat prepared in a very special way
Which varies depending on where you go
That was our review
Of barbecue
