[Chorus]
When you gonna buy me a canned ham?
I been waitin' so long
When you gonna buy it? When you gonna satisfy me?
When you gonna buy me a canned ham?
I been waitin' so long
When you gonna buy it? When you gonna satisfy me?

[Verse 1]
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, I'm gonna carry it around
And around and around and around

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
When you gonna buy me a canned ham?
I been waitin' so long
When you gonna buy it? When you gonna satisfy me?
When you gonna buy me a canned ham?
I been waitin' so long
When you gonna buy it? When you gonna satisfy me?
[Verse 2]
I like a canned ham, 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
And around and around and around

[Outro]
I been waitin', I been waitin' so long
When are you gonna buy me that canned ham, Greenbaum?
Soon, Nettie
