Chorus

)

 Servant could you call me brother, master could you call me son?

 Mama call me home for supper when it's done (When it's done)

Verse 1

)

Gather round the table Midwestern middle children

 Sway your heads, swing your eyes and sing along

 'Cause that church choir's singing with the force of a nor'easter

 And it's a great harmonious song

Chorus

 Servant could you call me brother, master could you call me son?

 Mama call me home for supper when it's done (When it's done)

Solo

Verse 2

( )

Seated on the left side just as seated on the right

 With a great cornucopia in between

 While clutching forks and knives keep a guard over your eyes

 Lest another covet what you have seen

Chorus

 Servant could you call me brother, master could you call me son?

 Mama call me home for supper when it's done (When it's done)

 When mouths are hungry, they're singing from their stomachs

When eyes are red, they're singing from their toes

 When lips are pursed, the kissin's sure enough a sweet thing

 Lest that puckering is evidence that something's bout to blow

 Hold

Verse 3

( )

Pass around the plate and fill it up with gladness

Swing your head, sway your eyes and sing along

 'Cause that church choir's a singin' with the force of a nor'easter

 And it's a great harmonious song
