Gene Graham Lyr: Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts (91* d) Lyr Add: GREAT, GREEN GOBS OF GREASY, GRIMY GOPHER 22 May 97


Hey, Ya'll - let's mix some of this with the WORMS and make a pot of WITCHES' BREW!

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.

Some people eat hamburger meat;
While others like potatoes
And some must chew their Irish stew;
Along with ripe tomatoes
I can't understand why in ev'ry land;
They serve such peculiar dishes
For wherever I go - they always say No!;
When I tell them what my wish is
... I scream for:
Refrain:

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:

In the life to come - I intend to hum;
This hymn to old Saint Peter
I won't need much - when my harp I touch;
And become a heavenly eater
I won't ask for money or milk and honey;
And my voice will never falter
While the trumpets blare on the Golden Stair;
As I stand at the Shining Altar
... I yell for:
Refrain:

TAG: And me without a spoon! .. YUK!
