When you gonna buy me a canned ham
I've been waiting so long
When you gonna buy it
When you gonna satisfy me
When you gonna buy me a canned ham
I've been waiting so long
When you gonna buy it
When you gonna satisfy me
I like a canned ham baby (baby)
Canned ham that's for me
When I think about it
Sends me into ecstasy
Put it in a skillet
Fry it nice and brown
Put it in my pocket
Gonna carry it around & around & around & around
When you gonna buy me a canned ham
I've been waiting so long
When you gonna buy it
When you gonna satisfy me
When you gonna buy me a canned ham
I've been waiting so long
When you gonna buy it
When you gonna satisfy me
I like a canned ham baby (baby)
Canned ham that's for me
When I think about it
Sends me into ecstasy
Put it in a skillet
Fry it nice and brown
Put it in my pocket
Gonna carry it around & around & around & around
Been waiting, I've been waiting so long
When you gonna buy me that canned ham Greenbaum?
Someday
