Since yesterday

But now I rarely post

But now I’ve been bumped
And so dear friends you’ll just have to watch your posts

Pie Blues (parody of "Yer Blues")
(Working Class Hero/BertoneBeatle)


Yes I’m hungry
Want a pie
Yes I’m hungry
Want a Pie
If I ain’t fed already
Chef you know the reason why

During breakfast
Want a pie
During diiiiiiiiiiiiiiinner
Want a pie
If I ain’t fed already
Chef you know the reason why

My mother, she made the pies
My father, he ate the dirt
But I’m the one who ate the pies, and now I’m gonna barf

Still hungry
Want a pie
If I ain’t fed already
Chef you know the reason why

The fork it picks the crumbs
My tongue, it licks the floor
Getting so friggin’ hungry
Just like that fat-ass Michael Moore

Hungry
Want a pie
If I ain’t fed already
Chef you know the reason why

The scent’s around the house
Apple pie is in a bowl
Feel so friggin’ hungry
I’m gonna eat that sucker whole

Want a Pie
Yeah
Want a pie
If I ain’t fed already
Chef you know the reason why
