Take All You Want
Growing up in the depression
Made Grandpa kinda tight
He wouldn't part with a wooden nickle
Without a fight
And when he married Grandma
Sixty years ago, he said,
Darlin' there is something you should know
Well you can take all you want
But eat all you take
Don't fill up on salad
When you went and ordered steak
If you want to be at Heaven's banquet
Then you'll have to clean your plate
Take all you want, but eat all you take
Now Grandma did the cooking
And she did it well
The scent would travel miles around
Just like a dinner-bell
And the family quickly multiplied
But one thing we all knew
At Grandpa's house, there's one thing
You must do
Well you can take all you want
But eat all you take
Don't fill up on salad
When you went and ordered steak
If you want to be at Heaven's banquet
Then you'll have to clean your plate
Take all you want, but eat all you take
Oh, the Good Book says you can't live life
On bread alone
I reckon Grandpa knew his Bible well
Cause every meal they served was like
A smorgasbord
Each time we went to visit I would swell
Swell, swell
Well one of these days old Grandpa
Will leave this earthly vale
And no one will give a second thought
To where his ship will sail
And when he meets old Peter
At them pearly gates on high
He'll tell him with a hunger in his eye
I'm gonna take all I want
But I'll eat all I take
I won't fill up on salad
Cause I done ordered steak
I've been waiting for Heaven's banquet
And I'm gonna clean my plate
I'll take all I want, but I'll eat all I take
Well you can take all you want
But eat all you take
Don't fill up on salad
When you went and ordered steak
If you want to be at Heaven's banquet
Then you'll have to clean your plate
Take all you want, but eat all you take
