lyrics

Well I used to live down in New Orleans town with some crazy friends of mine
People come over for a barbeque dinner and drink lots o’ whiskey and wine
Sittin’ in the yard on a sunny afternoon, everybody’d be feelin’ great
But then people’d get loaded and trouble’d get started before it got too late.

Ref:
I think there’s gonna be a fight
I think there’s gonna be a fight
There’s gonna be a fight at the barbeque tonight.

Well, Mike went and got some good pork ribs, just fifty-nine cents a pound
Boiled them up before he put ‘em on the grill, so we don’t have to wait around
Augie said, “Hey, Miguel, what the hell you tryin’ to do?! You know you got to
slow-cook that pork!”
“I’ll slow-cook you!” Mike said, and turned red, as he poked Augie with a fork.

(Refrain)

Mike’s wife got on the negligee, with nothin’ underneath
Sittin’ there, swingin’ her legs wide open, don’t care what nobody sees
Ryan’s sittin’ down just a few feet away, grinnin’ and drinkin’ a brew
Mike says “Hey, my friend, if you move to the left, you get a much better view!”

(Refrain)

I went to Augie’s for a Thanksgiving dinner; Augie cooked up a great big ham,
But he’d been up drinking for two nights straight, and he just didn’t give damn
Augie started fussin’, barkin’ and cussin’; the room got very tense
He pulled down the table and stomped on the turkey, as I was jumpin’ over the fence.

(Refrain)
(Repeat first verse)
