'Oh Waiter': a modern country blues classic

(E/A/B7/A7 in any combination you like)

Oh waiter, there's some urine in my soup
Oh waiter, I taste some wee wee in my soup
Oh waiter, you doodat bebop Betty Boop
And it seems quite clear you've got it in for me.

Oh waiter, when I said please improve this goop
Oh waiter, when I said please dilute my goopy soup
Oh waiter, when I said floop de doop de doop
I didn't mean for you to do it with pee.

Oh ho ho wait-wait-waiter man, I know you peed into my soup
Oh waiter waiter waiter dear, you pissed my chicken soup
Oh waiter, now don't you try to flee the coop
Because my auntie heads the health authority
(repeat last line with harmonization) Oh yes, she works for the local health authoriteeee

Well spotted, young padawan. The slight is corrected, balance to the Force has been brought once more.

Padiwan with an 'i' it is not. With youth comes such brashness. Doubt your Jedi master more than once should you not. Meh.

teehee:P.common as it is,the earliest literary ref. i've seen of 'improving' food this-a-way is in Dahl's 'The Witches' when all the cooks spit on a witch's meat plate when the hag sends it back saying its too hard.as expected she's very satisfied with the new meat and says its delicious.

i very often wonder of food textures found appealing in a non-hotel-y way.a sneeze,a fresh batch of mucus,or just plain ol' fightclub jelly?one can never tell and only hope for fortification of ze immune system if nothing else

oh,adore the -eeeeeeee in the end:)

Anonymous: Why the subterfuge? Why the mystery? Cast your cloak aside and stand revealed, Pimpernel!

Hmm. I never gave much thought to the nutritional aspects of bodily fluid garnish ("plain ol' fightclub jelly" - haha). There's got to be a PhD thesis in this somewhere.

To really do justice to the verse, it must be sung. Try it. I promise satisfaction.

I chanced upon your blog and found it very informative. The event blogs are striking enough to have a feel of the event, so, I would like to have a little chit-chat on your blogging interests. And even we are coming up with an event on startups on June 6th. So, can I have your contact details? Looking forward to hear from you.
