Subject: LYR ADD - Alan Sherman "Don't buy the Liverwurst"
great version, Gerry!
Gerry sang that song last year at my folk club - on the Twenty-Third of May!
This is Allan Sherman's parody of "Down By The Riverside" called "Don't Buy The Liverwurst."
"When you go to the delicatessen store, Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. I repeat what I just said before, Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst.
Oh buy the corned beef if you must, The pickled herring you can trust, And the lox puts you in orbit A-OK. But that big hunk of liverwurst Has been there since October First, And today is the Twenty-Third of May.
So when you go to the delicatessen store, Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. It'll make your insides awful sore. Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst."
