I'm going to make as suggestion for a new song circle. I would like to see a session of only parody, humourous, and risqué songs with a folk flavor.

There are plenty of these in the DT, but I'm always interested in new ones. I especially encourage people to share funny songs that they have created themselves or have learned from local people.

I'll start out with a parody of Northwest Passage called

FAR EAST KITCHEN - Parodist Unknown

(Chorus)
Oh for food sublime I would dine at Far East Kitchen
And See the Hand of Welcome Reaching from the Maitre D'
Take the new Red Line past the coop and beat the traffic
And feast at Far East Kitchen, that's for me

Westward from the Davis Square 'tis there it's said to lie
This tea house of the orient to which so many fly
Seeking Peking duckling, leaving well gnawed broken bones
And an oft-remembered cairn of leechee stones

(Repeat Chorus)

Through the night throughout the meal we feasted on the best
Kimcee, moo goo gai pan, mapo tofu and the rest
Steaming plates arrive before us, empty plates removed again
This heartiest of eaters satiated in the end

(Repeat Chorus)
