I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do I steer for my
Cheeseburger in paradise

Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez,
Diane's sittin' on Jackie's lap,
he's got his hand between her knees

I said do you speak-a my language?
he just smiled and gave me
a vegemite sandwich...

Your weevily wheat's not fit to eat,
Neither is your barley;
What I want is the best of rye
To bake a cake for Charlie.

Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eatin' goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eatin' goober peas

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener
That is what I'd truly like to be...

Nibblin' on sponge cake,
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered in oil.
Strummin' my six string,
On my front porch swing,
Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil.

Turkey, [something], sweet potater pie
Pancakes piled up 'til they reach the sky
Lots of startches lots of greens,
Fancy chocolate covered ...

....BEANS!

Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks
I don't care if we never come back

Sandra Dodd said...

Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now

an irritating bus-ride song, involving a bad peanut and a trip to hell to shovel coal, and reincarnation, and... you know.

Fried ham, fried ham,
Cheese and bologna,
And after the macaroni
We'll have onions,
Pickles and pretzels,
And then we'll have some more
Fried ham.
Fried ham, fried ham!

You will eat, bye and bye,
in that glorious land above the sky
work and pray,
live on hay,
you'll get pie in the sky
when you die
(that's a lie)

In my next thirty years
I'm gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads
And not stay up so late

Have you ever heard of a wish sandwich?
A wish sandwich is the kind of
sandwich where you have two slices of bread and you wish you had some meat.

I fights to the finitch
Cause I eats me spinach

Christmas cookies and holiday hearts,
That's the way the holiday starts.
Christmas cookies and holiday hearts,
Goodie goodie yum yum yum!

Join me, my sweet
For a bite to eat
In the delicatessen of my dreams
Where the herring are patiently
Marinating
And the liverwurst
Is bursting at the seams
You will be mine
At the kosher sign
In the delicatessen of my dreams.
