Hotdog Love Song
[breaks at 4, roughly; starts occasionally not on the 1]
[Verse]
This is not
just another ordinary
poignant song
about
a hot dog—
sucka, no!
And it's
not a cover of the
songs you sang
way back with all
of your friends
singing along!
If
you're thinking this is vegan—
I've been eating miscellaneous
meat products since I
could barely crawl.
This is a
song about the tenuous
connection of nutrition and digestion—
how we always stayed strong!
Yeah!
[Chorus]
This is a love song.
This is a love song.
[Verse]
Because you
are the only one who knows
how emulsified meat jelly
is the only thing I'm bellyaching,
wedding bells and all beef casings,
passionate for processed meat paste—
bacon isn't what I need to taste!
Put a Ball Park on my home plate,
a Nathan's Deli in my face,
an uncured bison dog with
catsup on it—Sabbrett is a boring name
for such a beatific
meat baton, the Hebrew National,
halal, Vienna wiener,
sausage—God is good!
So let's give him Grace, and start to put
the Armour, Oscar Meyer, Woodson–
James and Coleman, Applegate,
and don't forget those Sonic
foot-longs!
Hot dog!
Skinless, boneless, flavorful, in
casings cured, all-natural,
a frozen hotdog popsicle,
Chicago-style but less baroque,
with mustard—maybe try some
coleslaw?
From your fridge or freezer flavor
savers, leave it in and eat it
later, dropped it on the floor—
hope no one saw . . .
[Chorus]
You eat a hot dog
that you rinsed off!
You ate a hot dog,
a hot diggidy and diggidy dog!
--AUTHOR'S NOTE: this is as much as anything a question about how to do line breaks in lyrics. The above seems wrong, but I'm not sure a better way.
Help? Note that at least part of the problem, maybe, is that I'm not a composer, but I'd expect lyricists would always have the problem. No?
Also, yes, Leanne, if you wanted to post this somewhere else, please do.
