Barbeque Capital of the Usa

Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska claim  to be
The barbeque capitals of the USA you see
They clearly have not been to Tennessee
Where opossum and squirrel are meat for three

Put enough sweet sauce on
And you will be dancing all night
Getting your southern groove on
We are the BBQ capital of the world, all right!

And let’s not take them to Kentucky
Where every restaurant serves BBQ with tea
BBQ tater tots, BBQ soup
BBQ sandwiches that will make you toot

Put enough sweet sauce on
And you will be dancing all night
Getting your southern groove on
We are the BBQ capital of the world, all right!

BBQ is also prominent in Georgia I know
I have an aunt there who can make BBQ glow
She will serve it to you as mystery meat
If you don’t ask, it is quite a road kill of a treat.

Put enough sweet sauce on
And you will be dancing all night
Getting your southern groove on
We are the BBQ capital of the world, all right!
