Subject: Lyr Add: THE PIZZA SONG (Trish Santer) From: Tattie Bogle Date: 05 Nov 24 - 05:56 PM And to follow that, here's my pizza song: THE PIZZA SONG © Trish Santer - Oct 2002 Chorus Well, you can't eat that pizza, 'cos it's mine, I bought it for a very special reason, There ain't another pizza quite like it in the world, So leave it in that freezer just a-freezin'. I went to Tesco's Friday 9 p.m., I waited for the girl with the stickers and the marker pen, When she marked that pizza down to less than half a crown I had the very best bargain in the end. Chorus It may be just a simple Margarita, But I have plans to make it taste much sweeter, With a full tin of anchovies, and half a pound of stovies, And pepperoni, cheese and more tomater. Chorus I'm saving it for after the theater, We won't have time to eat till so much later, It's then when we're both starving, that pizza we'll be halving, So tonight you'd better have a baked potater. Chorus So now it's at the bottom of the freezer, Where maybe it could be forgot for ever, But in a year or two, when it's perma-frosted through, I'll be so glad I kept that bargain pizza. Chorus |

Subject: RE: Songs that mention food From: Thompson Date: 06 Nov 24 - 04:43 PM Oh, the praties they are small Over here, over here, Oh, the praties they are small Over here. Oh, the praties they are small, And we dig them in the fall, And we eat them skins and all, Over here. Oh, I wish that we were geese Night and morn, night and morn, Oh, I wish that we were geese, Night and morn. Oh, I wish that we were geese, For they fly and take their ease And they live and die in peace Eatin' corn. (An emigrant song from the Famine.) [Famine Song] |

Subject: RE: Songs that mention food From: Mrrzy Date: 06 Nov 24 - 07:31 PM Which reminds me of this verse but I'm not sure it counts? If I were a squirrel and I lived in an oak tree I'd eat lots of nuts and grow fat Then lie on the limb of a tree in the sun Oh, what could be nicer than that? |

Plum pudding, roast beef a plenty Plum pudding, roast beef Oh when my belly was empty She gave to me relief - repeat I kindly was invited some supper for to take And kindly I did accept it All for my stomachs sake - repeat Now after supper was over The cupboard she took some key One pocket she crammed butter And the other she crammed with cheese - Repeat Her master smelling of the cheese Came rat-tat at the door I had no where to hide my face But up the chimney crawl - repeat I had not been there very long A sitting at my ease The fire melted my butter And likewise touched my cheese - repeat Every drop that fell on the fire It caused the old fire to rear The old woman looked up the chimney top And she swore the old devil was there - repeat Her master went to the chimney top A bucket of water let fall And I came following after Me butter & cheese and all - repeat The dogs did bark & the children screamed Up flew the windows all The old woman cried out well done, well done There goes butter & cheese & all - repeat. |
