18 Feb 13 - 12:28 PM (#3481078) Subject: Lyr Add: Fries Again (Rise Again parody) From: Haruo Last night at Seattle Song Circle a couple of take-offs on "The Mary Ellen Carter" were sung to great delight. One, Eensy-Weensy Spider, is well-documented here, but the second, "Fries Again", I can't find any mention of, so I thought I would post the lyrics as provided by Viv llo Veith, who sang it: Fries Again Zeke Hoskins first verses, Chris Roe second verses TTTO Mary Ellen Carter I am an office worker pushing paper for my pay I don't go out and face the wind or cut down trees all day I don't fight the kind of dangers that can quickly strike you dead When my job kills, it kills you slow instead For I don't get that much exercise, I'd take a heart attack If I ate the kind of meals it takes to feed a lumberjack But when I forget to bring my lunch, it always gives me pain Cause the cafeteria's serving fries again Fries again! Fries again! Enough saturated fat to feed a family of ten All I carry is my debt load, all I'm pushing is my pen But the cafeteria's serving fries again. Sometimes I think they do it just to watch my levels rise Every crispy golden morsel (mouthful?) spelling premature demise Insurance pays the loss if I should finally be laid low But darn it! it's just not my time to go And in the end it's just an exercise of discipline of mind I won't forget those veggie snacks and yogurt one more time Tomorrow noon I'll be prepared to cheerfully disdain The devil's own potato, fries again! ========== Haruo |
