GREAT, GREEN GOBS OF GREASY, GRIMY GOPHER GUTS (Words and music by Tom Glazer)
Refrain: Great, Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy, Gopher Guts Mutilated Monkey Meat, Itty Bitty Birdie Feet Great, Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy, Gopher Guts And me without a spoon.

I can pay my way in a French Cafe; Which is big and quite expensive Where the diners dine and the wine is fine; But I'm always apprehensive When the menu comes - I twiddle my thumbs; At the list of fancy dishes Caviar and steaks - champagne and cake; Is never what my wish is ... I beg for: Refrain:

I yell for: Refrain:
