[Background Singers] (Serve that meat, Clarence!) [Clarence] GET YOUR PLATE! [Verse 1] Fire started burning early today Hickory smoke drifting all my way Got my apron on, got my sauce just right Been rubbing that seasoning in all night You walked outside, said, “What's that smell?” I said, “Come here, baby, I ain't gonna tell” Lifted that lid and you started to shout— [Background Singers] (OOOH, CLARENCE!) [Clarence] You know what this song's about! [Pre-Chorus] Don't stand there hungry Don't make me wait Clarence got something To put on your plate!

I WANNA FEEL MY MEAT— IN YOUR BODYYYYYY! [Horn Explosion] [Clarence] BARBECUE, PEOPLE! Good Lord! [Verse 2] Got ribs on the left, got chicken on the right Brisket been smoking since late last night Pulled pork tender, falling apart Clarence puts his whole damn soul in his art Baby took a bite, started closing her eyes Leaning back slow with a satisfied sigh She said— [Background Singer] Clarence... your meat is so tender. [Music STOPS] [Clarence] ... Thank you. [Background Singers laughing] [Clarence] Y'all need JESUS. [Band kicks back in] [CHORUS] I WANNA FEEL MY MEAT IN YOUR BODYYYY! (Give her that meat!)

I WANNA FEEL MY MEAT— IN YOUR BODYYYYYY! [Breakdown — Bass, Congas & Wah Guitar] [Clarence — spoken soul sermon] See... There's something a woman appreciates... about a man... who knows... how to handle his meat. [Background Singers] (Mmmmm-hmmmm!) You don't rush it. (NO!) You don't burn it. (NO!) You gotta rub it... season it... let it rest... and when the time is right— [Background Singer] Put it in, Clarence! [Clarence] PUT IT ON THE PLATE! What is WRONG with y'all?! [Strings Rise] [Clarence] Everybody grab a plate! [FINAL CHORUS — KEY CHANGE] I WANNA FEEL MY MEAT IN YOUR BODYYYY! (YOUR BODY! YOUR BODY!) Come and get yourself a bite!
