Subject: Lyr Req: Funeral Food (Kate Campbell)
I heard this song at an outdoor festival Thursday, and I didn't catch all the words. Can somebody post the lyrics, please?
As a church musician, I seem to eat a lot of funeral food, so it's a subject near and dear to my heart.
I found part of it here (click):
Aunt Fidelia brought the rolls
with her green bean casserole
The widow Smith down the street
dropped by a bowl of butter beans.
Plastic cups and silverware,
lime green Tupperware, everywhere.
Pass the chicken, pass the pie,
We sure eat good when someone dies.
There sits mean old Uncle Bob,
gnawing on a corn on the cob.
Who's that walking through the door?
I don't think we've ever seen him before.
Let's hit the line a second time,
We sure eat good when someone dies.
Funeral food,
It's so good for your soul;
Funeral food,
Fills you up down to your toes;
Funeral food,
Funeral food....[fade]
