Lyrics

Give me some of that fried chicken, sweet tea
Tomato gravy, collard greens
Give me some of that cha-cha
Nobody makes it like you do
Going down to Alcenia’s
Get me some of that soul food

Give me some fried green tomatoes
Sweet potato pie
Give me some pork chops, black-eyed peas on the side
Give some of those yams, BJ
Nobody makes it like you do
Going down to Alcenia’s
Get me some of that soul food

I walked in the door a stranger
But when I walked out
BJ said “Shack, you’re part of the family now!”
Alcenia’s
You know, it makes me feel so good
I’m going down to Alcenia’s
Get me some of that soul food

A kiss on my forehead
A squeeze of my hand
A plate full of love
I’m a happy, happy man
Alcenia’s
Lord, it makes me feel so good - Oh, so good
I’m going down to Alcenia’s
Get me some of that soul food

Give me some of that fried chicken, sweet tea
Tomato gravy, collard greens
Give me some of that hot water cornbread
Nobody makes it like you do
I’m going down to Alcenia’s
Get me some of that soul food, yeah
