Good song; Its on the music server. Reflecting, a quick query shows i don't have a single track beyond 1995. Guess I am ready for the Time-Life music subscription.
A slightly different version of the tune - Jessie's Grill
Jessie is a friend, yeah
I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a grill and I want to make it mine
And he's flamebroiling those hamburgers
And he's grilling the best steaks, I just know it
Yeah 'n' he's smoking whole turkeys late, late at night
You know
I wish that I had Jessie's grill
I wish that I had Jessie's grill
Where can I find a setup like that
I play along with the charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so envious when he loads the charcoal
I wanna ask him where he got it
But the grill must have been stole
'Cause he's flamebroiling those hamburgers
And he's grilling the best steaks, I just know it
And he's he's smoking whole turkeys late, late at night
You know
I wish that I had Jessie's grill
I wish that I had Jessie's grill
Where can I find a setup like that
Like Jessie's grill
I wish that I had Jessie's grill
Where can I find a setup
Where can I find a setup like that
And I'm looking on the net all the time
Wondering where he found that cool thing
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way envy's supposed to be
Tell me, where can I find a setup like that
You know, I wish that I had Jessie's grill
I wish that I had Jessie's grill
I want Jessie's grill
Where can I find a setup like that
Like Jessie's grill
I wish that I had Jessie's grill
I want, I want Jessie's grill
@Tucanae,
I've posted a very few songs originating after 1995 for Sunday Music selections.
You could count the songs worth including on your fingers.
Recording companies have turned most music into a vast wasteland, and wherever the real talents are, they aren't coming to anyone's notice, because the major labels can't figure out how to steal them blind anymore.
