A PARODY

Sung to the tune of "Comedy Tonight."

Barbecue Tonight
by Elena Santangelo

(with apologies to Mr. Sondheim)

Something with bacon, low fat forsaken
Something for everyone--a barbecue tonight.
Sausage and pork roll cooked over charcoal
Something for everyone--a barbecue tonight.

Nothing that's fish, nothing that's game
Just set a suckling over a flame.

Nothing au gratin, nothing that's rotten
Nothing but pigs and appetite
Shoulder cut or side meat, boiled jowls and
      pigs' feet
Boston butt or fatback, pork rinds as a quick
      snack---

(big finish -- slow kick line)

No tiny bones, no mad cow curse,
Just some trichinosis at worse.

Big pork selection grilled to perfection.
Get out the citronella light.
Leftovers tomorrow--barbecue tonight!
