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!Copyright 1999, Elena Santangelo
