Take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
Take it easy, greasy, now baby, don't you get so rough.
Hug me, honey, squeeze me tight,
You need not hurry 'cause you got all night!
So, take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
I got to have it, love me 'til I get enough!
Take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
Take it easy, greasy, now baby, don't you get so rough.
I'm goin' downtown, to old Butcher Pete,
'Cause I want a piece of his good old meat!
So, take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
I got to have it, love me 'til I get enough!
Take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
Take it easy, greasy, now baby, don't you get so rough.
Call you this morning 'bout half past two,
Now tell me, daddy, what you're going to do.
So, take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
I got to have it, love me 'til I get enough!
Spoken: Take it easy, greasy! You got a long way to slide!
Take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
Take it easy, greasy, now baby, don't you get so rough.
Sweetest candy in the candy shop,
It's just your sweet, sweet lollipop!
So, take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
I got to have it, love me 'til I get enough!
Take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
Take it easy, greasy, now baby, don't you get so rough.
The jaybird say to the peckerwood,
I'll let you peck it like a pecker should!
So, take it easy, greasy, love me 'til I get enough,
I got to have it, love me 'til I get enough!
