Thread Name: There's gotta be a song here! (Challenge: lentils)
Subject: RE: There's gotta be a song here!
Bert--Sorry, I looked at the whole water/bath thing, and don't believe a word of it, in Golden Colorado, they use up any extra water by just putting something yellow in it, and then selling it as Coors Beer--However, I did just get back from the Armenian Market, where I bought two kinds of lentils, and that idea worked for me--
I'm hearing the following lyrics, sung by Mitch Miller and the Gang to something that sounds a lot like "I'm a Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech--
Fifty pounds of lentils, and I was feelin' fine Made a pot of lentil soup and there were forty-nine
Forty-nine pounds of lentils, and I was feelin' great Made a pot of lentil soup and there were forty-eight
Forty-eight pounds of lentils, and I was still in heaven Made a pot of lentil soup and there were forty-seven
Forty-seven pounds of lentils, and I was in the sticks Made a pot of lentil soup and there were forty-six
Forty-six pounds of lentils, and how will I survive? Made a pot of lentil soup and there were forty-five
Forty-five pounds of lentils and I was feeling poor, Made a pot of lentil soup and there were forty-four
Forty-four pounds of lentils, and now I cannot see Made a pot of lentil soup and there were forty-three
Forty-three pounds of lentils, I don't know what to do Made a pot of lentil soup and there are forty-two
Forty-two pounds of lentils, and I'm not having fun Made a pot of lentil soup and there are forty-one
I don't have time to finish (got to make lentil soup!) but all the rights to these words are reserved by me--and any use of them at all is strictly encouraged--
