Lyrics

Fix me a plate, ooh, fix me a plate Fix me a plate, ooh, fix me a plate
Turkey and dressing, chicken, oxtails, fish All you have to do is set your mind to it
And you can have anything you wish Cornbread, peas, macaroni and cheese
Have what you desire from string beans To collard greens, to get what you want

Just mean what you say and say what you mean Don't eat meat, how about some cabbage
Yams and beets, fix me, fix me a plate Fix me a plate, ooh, fix me a plate
Fix me a plate, ooh, fix me a plate How about some ice cream to complete your dream
Don't eat dairy, we still got something To keep you happy and make you merry

Who am I to deny your request for another slice of pie
Fix me a plate, ooh, fix me a plate Fix me a plate, ooh, fix me a plate
Got enough bread, how about a biscuit To go with that brisket
An extra hot roll before they get cold What else would you like to take

I'm down for some of that good old pound cake And don't forget to ask for some extra gravy
And some more juice and more of that barbecue sauce And that tasty anointed oil
Then be prepared for the overflow I see you brought your own tin foil
Fix me a plate, ooh, fix me a plate Fix me a plate, ooh, fix me a plate

That's because my plate is running over With gifts of love and kindness
Which nourishes my mind, body, and spirit And keeps me whole
