lyrics

THE ENSLEY GRILL

now people let me tell you something
i been all around the world
it’s no exaggeration, I been everywhere
London, Paris, Istanbul, Rome and Tokyo
anyplace you could think of
man, I been there
hereabouts and thereabouts and no ifs ands or butts abouts
down in the deepest valley, up on the highest hill
but I’d give anything, oh yes you best believe I would
for one more trip to the Ensley Grill
one more trip to the Ensley Grill

i’ve dined at the finest restaurants, Michelin 5-star joints
savored the treats of the finest chefs from all round the globe
epicurean gourmet meals, hey that’s the story of my life
room service at the Plaza, in my Plaza Hotel robe
but friends there’s still that dear old place I sure would love to go
and you can bet your last 10 dollars I’d eat my fill
it’s way down in Alabama y’all, where the catfish grow so fat
i’d give anything for one more trip to the Ensley Grill
one more trip to the Ensley Grill

crispy chicken, tasty collard greens,
down at the Ensley Grill they know what good food means
cornbread, fried okra, and man, those black eyed peas
take me back to the Ensley Grill, oh lord I beg you please...
please!

but what’s that you say?
the Ensley Grill is closed?
it’s been shut down?
and here I am, I’ve travelled far and long
to get to Ensley town
well I’m goin’ back to my motel room
going straight to sleep i will
and hoping that I’ll dream tonight
about a meal at the Ensley Grill
one more trip to the Ensley Grill
one more trip to the Ensley Grill
just one more trip to the Ensley
one more trip to the Ensley
one more trip to the Ensley Grill
aw, take me back!
