Eating The Peach - Randy Newman
I've eaten many strange and scrumptious dishes in my time Like jellied bugs and curried slugs and earwigs cooked in slime And mice with rice is very nice When they're roasted in their prime But don't forget to sprinkle them with just a pinch of grime I'm crazy 'bout mosquitoes on a piece of buttered toast And pickled spines of porcupines And then a great big roast And dragon's flesh, quite old, not fresh It costs a buck at most It comes to you in barrels if you order it by post (It comes to you in barrels if you order it by post) For dinner on my birthday shall I tell you what I chose? Hot noodles made of poodles on a slice of garden hose And a rather smelly jelly Made of armadillo's toes The jelly is delicious, but you have to hold your nose Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach I crave the tasty tentacles of octopi for tea I like hot dogs, but I love hot frogs And surely you'll agree A plate of soil with engine oil's a super recipe (Recipe) I hardly need to mention that it's practically free Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach We hardly need to mention that it's practically free Now comes, my fellow travelers, the burden of my speech These foods are rare beyond compare And some right out of reach But there's no doubt I'd go without A million plates of each For one small mite (One small mite) One tiny bite (Tiny bite) Of this fantastic peach! Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach This fantastic peach!
