Bill, Here it is!

FLAMINGOS
by Larry Penn---1982

I was just a-wonderin how flamingo would taste,
Cooked golden brown
HMMMMMM golden brown,
Cooked up in a roaster with his legs tied down,
Golden brown
Oh Lord golden brown.

Make some red eye gravy--won't that taste nice?
Golden brown,
Golden brown, Stuff it full of dressing made of chestnuts and rice,
Golden brown
Ah Lord golden brown.

Now you can bring me chicken if it's southern fried,
Golden brown...
But won't you bring me somethin' that I aint never tried,
Golden brown,,,

(repeat 1st verse)

I told Larry that there's no need to wonder how it would taste; the flavor's somwhere between a bald eagle and a trumpeter swan !!!
