Some folks
Find their way with God
And some folks
Find their love in drugs
Some folks
Say they come from Texas
Well myself
I believe it can happen
Listen what your mamma say
And your papa say too now
Not everyone
Can pick and choose like you do
Now now now now
Don't joke, don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry man
Don't joke
With a hungry man now
Don't joke, don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry man

Some folk
Spend a lot of money
And some folks
Spend a lot of time
Some folks
Wear their best coats
Yes they do
And some folks
Don't wear no clothes at all
To make a meal for a king
Its got to taste real good
Most things today
Don't taste like they should
Calling up all people
All people true
Don't change the way you think
Or the things that you do
Now
Don't joke, don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry woman
I said don't joke, don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry woman
Don't
Don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry woman
I said don't joke
Don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry woman

Don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry woman
I said
Don't joke, don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry man
Don't joke, don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry woman
I said don't joke, don't joke
Don't joke with a hungry man
Not a hungry woman
Not a hungry man
Not a hungry woman
Not a hungry man
