Veggie Piano Boogie Blues

lyrics

Well, there's something you should know before you bring me them vittles, I don't eat nothing that don't bleed a little
That's right, It's gotta wiggle in the pan. Cause I'm a carnivarian not an Idaho potato man ///
Now don’t you pick it from a tree don’t dig it outa the ground I’ll eat it if it moos and runs around - That’s right, catch it if you can, cause I'm a NY steak not an Idaho potato man ///
I donʼt want nothin steamed I donʼt want nothin boiled - bring it red it the middle and char-coal broiled - That Right
Keep a cow on hand and you can tell the cook that I'm no Idaho Potato Man ///
So when you bring me the steak be sure to keep the potato, keep the peas and the carrots and the lettuce and tomato – oh ick - cause Iʼm no vegetarian - I want a NY Steak not an Idaho Maam ///
So donʼt you send me down to the salad bar and if itʼs French Onion Soup itʼs AuRevior Mais Oui Excuse moi madame, Iʼm a filet mingon not a french fried potato garcon. - Chevrolet Coupe ///
(normally don't get around to singing these verses):
I come from part of the world where life is sacred and they never cook it and they never bake it
but now, I’m American, I want a NY stake not an Idaho potato Man ///
Well Iʼm greecing my gills, Iʼm feedin my face, getting animal fat all over the place Yahoooooo
Eatin all the flesh I can, I'm a NY steak not an Idaho Potato Man ///
