VENTI TO GO
PARODY OF VERTIGO
Uno, dos, tres, a venti!
Make mine
A Half-Caf, Quad, Iced Venti,
Soy, Starbucks Doubleshot™
On Ice, Barrista!
Line thins down
It’s dark
The Starbucks is now open
But, please, take heart
I’m fearing it’ll take longer than I thought
You walk inside
And though Timmies is on the other side
Your mind can wonder
Hello, hello
(¡Hola!)
I’d like a Venti to go
(¿Qué quieres?)
Just take my order and do it slow
I accept that customer service is
No longer real
No longer real
The line is full of assholes
Those idiots take too long
They talk into phones
And shuffle as the stereo
Plays music without soul
Those CDs at the point of sale
Ghastly, I know
I’m staring at my feet
My watch I start to check
The girl that smells of weed
Has an iPod ’round her neck
Blinking to the music...
Blinking to the music
Hello, hello
(¡Hola!)
I’d like a Venti to go
(¿Qué quieres?)
Just take my order and do it slow
I accept that customer service is
No longer real
No longer real
Check watch
Hours of fun!
Fairtrade?!
I’m in, yeah!
All of this
All of this wait for hours
All of this
All of this wait for hours
All of this
All of this wait for hours
Just give me one croissant
And no one gets hurt
Hello, hello
(¡Hola!)
I’d like a Venti to go
(¿Qué quieres?)
Just take my order and do it slow
I accept that customer service is
No longer real
Real
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

MIRACLE WHIP
PARODY OF MIRACLE WHIP
I want to spread it on some bread
Macaroni fare
You say you use Heilmann’s instead
Well, that’s just gross to me
I use it in egg salad cause mayo’s dull
Don’t you have any taste at all?
If you offer them just plain old coleslaw
They’d walk right out
A bargain once I spent
Five bucks for a case of ten
There’s ketchup for the fries
I see mustard for these dogs
It’s no picnic
Without that tangy zip
We’re out of Miracle Whip
Want me to fill a shopping cart?
I would go do it
With ordinary mayo here, sweetheart
It’ll taste like shit…
I love you, my wife of mine
But you talk nonsense and waste my time
I will appear with a box full
Of proper dressing here
There’s ketchup for the fries
I see mustard for these dogs
But there’s nothing
With that tangy zip
I’m not giving up
Yeah, not a little bit
For a miracle
Miracle Whip
For Miracle Whip…
God, woman
You said you needed
My help today...
I know the boys
I know my kin
They’ll ask a choice of that dressing
“In lieu of what you’re offering...
Is there some Whip in the kitchen?”
There’s ketchup for the fries
I see mustard for these dogs
But there’s nothing here
With that tangy zip
I’m not giving up
Yeah, not a little bit
For a miracle
Miracle Whip
For Miracle Whip

SOMETIMES YOU
CAN’T BAKE SHIT
ON YOUR OWN
PARODY OF SOMETIMES YOU CAN’T
MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN
Tough!
I’m saying that’s quite enough!
Still you’re telling me
And everyone
You’re a good cook
You don’t have to give me a fright
You don’t have to set the kitchen alight
You’re forcing me
To have to punch you
If you try again tonight
Listen to me, punk
Then I’ll let go of your throat
Promise me
You’ll never bake alone!
And it’s you
When I clean up in the kitchen
And it’s you
When I’m not at home
Sometimes you can’t bake shit on your own
You f*ck up all the time
You and I we’ll tango
If you break another mixing bowl
I don’t need
I don’t need to hear you say
That if you had another chance
You’d like to try harder than before
Listen to me, punk
Then I’ll let go of your throat
Promise me
You’ll never bake alone!
And it’s you when
I clean up in the kitchen
And it’s you
When I’m not at home
Sometimes you can’t bake shit on your own
Your stuff tastes like chalk
I’m sick of it all
Can – you – hear – me
When – I – saaaaaay....
“There’s no f*cking way!
You’re the reason why
I’m in therapy…”
Okay, let’s not cry now
I just wanted you to know
An apron doesn’t make you a chef
I’m not leaving you here alone…
And it’s you
When I clean up in the kitchen
And it’s you
When I’m not at home
Sometimes you can’t bake shit
On your own
Everytime that you try to bake
I honestly don’t think
The kitchen can take it
Sometimes you can’t bake shit on your own

LOVE THOSE PEAS
OR ELSE
PARODY OF LOVE AND PEACE OR ELSE
Chow down
Chow down
Chow down
Chow on fresh veggies
From the ground
Show some love
Not some flack
You’re gonna eat
And not hold back
Chow down with pleasure
Chow down for your mother
She spent much time
Over stove she hovered
If you value your life
You’d better start
Not making a face
At artichoke hearts
I don’t care if you must fake it
Don’t be queasy
Oh, heavens
Please!
Breaks her heart if you forsake it
You need to just cease
Just cease
Just cease
Proceed to love those peas!
Love those peas!
Chow down
Chow down
Not shun
And you daughters start trying
And you’ll give a damn, sons
Maybe one bite
No one will turn blue
Won’t you eat just a few
You’d better not moan
Or the Xbox gets banned
I don’t want to see frowns
You’ve all gained some pounds
So let’s all dig in
Hope you’re hungry
Spare us the drama
Spare us the drama
Spare us the drama
Love those peas!
Spare us the drama
Spare us the drama
Spare us the drama

ZITI OF
BLINDING BITES
PARODY OF CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS
The more you use
The hotter it gets
The less you use
Prevents a stomach upset
You know your family
Likes their spicy chow
Grocery cart
Day off work
The ziti calls for more perk
They advertise in the flyers
For half off on stuff
And they’ll kiss you
And fan their mouths astounded
All that pepper you’ll add
Will be really hand-grounded
Oh, you’ll cook up
A bellyful tonight
With this ziti of blinding bites
Don’t cook before you graph
How much before it feels
Like an acid bath
Flash fire
Hot on tongue
They’re gonna love this ziti!
You watch them eat unafraid
They hardly touch
The bread you made
You found a spice
That is sold illegally
It makes a habanero
Feel like a tall iced tea!
And they kiss you
And fan their mouths astounded
Maybe all that caution
Is looking ill founded
Oh, you’ve cooked up
A bellyful tonight
With this ziti of blinding bites
And whine
Soon everyone ruins their pants
And whine
Swearing and crying in their rants
Oh, you’ve cooked up
A bellyful tonight
Oh, you’ve cooked up
A bellyful tonight
Oh, you’ve cooked up
A bellyful tonight
With this ziti of blinding bites
The more you use
The hotter it gets
The less you use
Prevents a stomach upset
Success is just not worth
The heartburn here

ALL BECAUSE
OF JUICE
PARODY OF ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
I was born with a child’s fat face
Nothing worked on my big waist
Always felt fugly with a weight I can’t embrace
And every diet is bullshit
I saw you at Curves across the room
You saw my cookie dough and my spoon
You spurred me to change my tune
I’d lose the pounds if I followed it
All because of juice
All because of juice
All because of juice
I can
I can
I like the sound of a blender on
I didn’t question if this diet’s sound
I think I lost 7 pounds
Another 50 is my aim
Some people get thinner tossing the snacks
Some people got there cutting out fats
It’s no joke cuz I can wear these slacks
Mr. Atkins, you’re so lame
All because of juice
All because of juice
All because of juice
I can
I can
Another 5 and I’m doing porn!
Dots in my eyes—I’m on the floor
I’m out to space and starting to doubt
That this juicing fast is wise
All because of juice
All because of juice
All because of juice
Can’t stand
Can’t stand

A PAN
AND A CHICKEN
PARODY OF A MAN AND A WOMAN
Listen, mister
You can’t tell me there’s a better way
You can’t beat my chicken
Listen, mister
I won’t settle for poultry that’s just okay
That tastes funny...
Or underdone
‘Barbecued ‘
Never gets laments
Cuz only B-B-Q
Can make chicken succulent!
I could never take your stance
Of losing touch with one’s caveman
(That delicious instance)
‘Cos I could never be so bland
(I’ve some serious resistance)
Using a pan and a chicken
It’s all done with love
And it’s so much more pleasant to chew
It keeps the juices sealed
But yours has no taste to speak of
Tastes so plain
Why bother cooking at all?
How can a bird not be barbecued?!!!
I could never take your stance
‘Cos I could never be so bland
I question your existence
Using a pan and a chicken
Slap on a bun
Let some cheese melt
Dijon mustard I would choose myself
It’s just not in my parlance
Using a pan and a chicken
Evenly distributes heat
For a taste that’s divine
I bought this grill that is so neat
That I’ve turned into a shrine
I’ve turned into a shrine
Listen, mister
You been misheating poultry again
Read up my blog
Listen, mister
Why keep letting mistakes repeat again
Stoves I shun
Cuz that’s just odd!
Poultry needs barbie
To come out great
If you so choose:
Charcoal’s great!
No, you could never taste nuance
Nor taste could a skillet enhance
No enchanting fragrance
Using a pan and a chicken
I stand perplexed...
At plates I jeer
All the wings and breasts you’ve seared
I’d care not a pittance
Using a pan and a chicken
Wrong heat
Wrong heat
How can a bird not be barbecued?!!!

DRUMS
FULL OF MAPLE
PARODY OF CRUMBS FROM YOUR TABLE
Where’s the syrup jar
Before my stack gets cold
You have real stuff to offer
Why under tight control?
You’re such a crybaby
You might need some psych help
You’ll just deny to others
And keep the good shit for yourself
Cruel!
Don’t wanna knockoff!
Cruel!
Don’t wanna knockoff!
You sneak!
I find your plunder
I plead, “make ‘em smothered!”
I can’t conceive
Why you’re unable
As I’m staring at your
Drums full of maple
“You’re so petty”,
Goes my stricture
You won’t share some with me
What a shame that you’ve got
This pathology
With a pout I can’t eat
Alienates your best friend
Cuz you won’t ever part
With the real stuff now and then
You sneak!
I find your plunder
I plead, “make ‘em smothered!”
I can’t conceive
Why you’re unable
As I’m staring at your
Drums full of maple
Should I forgive the moron inside
Whether you give or whether deny
Wrong in the head
Insist pancakes are fed
But hide the real supply!
You sneak!
I find your plunder
I plead, “make ‘em smothered!”
I can’t conceive
Why you’re unable
As I’m staring at your
Drums full of maple

PREPPED KOSHER
PARODY OF ONE STEP CLOSER
I’m ’round the corner store
Buying a kosher meal
See a Star of David with hope
I understand they fired the cook guy
“Put bacon in everything”, they groaned
None prepped kosher?
No noshing!
None prepped kosher?
No noshing!
Hasidic merchants
At a busy deli section
They say they’ve slaughtered
Unclean stock
Can’t eat? What a load of schlock!
They’ve got pork touching the meat?!!
They just kvetch, “that’s mishegoss!”
None prepped kosher?
No noshing!
None prepped kosher?
No noshing!
Haranguing old rabbis
Had the place closed
Finger instead
Idly picks at my small nose
Well, the mart that skirts
Isn’t where smart Jews eat
I can hear my hunger growing
None prepped kosher?
No noshing!
None prepped kosher?
No noshing!
None prepped kosher?
No noshing!
No noshing!
No noshing…

Baby, chow down
This blend isn’t done but it’s a start
Please, criticize
I won’t take it to heart
If it’s KFC that you want
Well, I can spare you the jaunt
This is the first batch bear in mind
If you feel like it’s just like before
A meal that you just might adore
Ideal cuz I can make you some more
There’s more I got if it hits the spot
A lot of chicken that I bought
11 different herbs and spices
We don’t have to pay
Ridiculous prices
Some wings just shouldn’t have so much fat
Like Popeye’s, Church’s and KFC’s
Some things have
Way too much cholesterol, baby
Maybe if it’s KFC that you want
Well, I can spare you the jaunt
All this from scratch bear in mind
If you feel like it’s just like before
A meal that you might adore
Ideal cuz I can
Make you some more
There’s more I got
If it hits the spot
A lot of chicken that I bought
11 different herbs and spices
We don’t have to pay
Ridiculous prices
Oh, no...oh, no...
No, no, no, no, no...
There’s half the salt!
Colonel Sanders
I’ve reached my goal!
Your secret’s no longer
Under your control!
11 different herbs and spices
We don’t have to pay
Ridiculous prices
11 different herbs and spices
Oh, my, my...
If you feel like it’s just like before
A meal that you might adore
Ideal cuz I can make you some more
Do you want some more?
