Izzy and Eva Jim Dannemiller Houston, TX July 27, 2010 Izzy and Eva plan their evening meal Weak and thin is all they ever feel I'm hungry, Izzy I know you are dear I'll bring you a feast You don't need to fear Two juicy steaks Or a big fat chicken No more hunger No more tonight of those slim slim pickins One potato two potato Three potato four I try my best to keep the wolf from our door Two potatoes is all he could afford Two potatoes is all he could afford I'm home Eva and what a deal I got for us tonight for our evening meal Such a feast I'm your man, Izzy Such a feast It will make your head dizzy Four potatoes two to a plate I ate my two I couldn't wait Let's cook yours up I'll throw in some lard Only the best for my Eva I know times they been hard One potato two potato Three potato four Two potatoes is all he could afford Another night with stomachs aching Another night his heart is breaking He did his best in the land of plenty One more night she's feelin' thin and empty One potato two potato Three potato four I did my best to keep hunger from your door Another night with stomachs aching Another night his heart is breaking He did his best in the land of plenty One more night she's feelin' thin and empty Izzy and Eva plan their evening meal Weak and thin is all they ever feel
