When I was a little kid
I never liked to eat
Mom would put things on my plate
And I`d dump `em on her feet
But then one day she made this soup
I ate it all in bed
I asked her what she put in it
And this is what she said:
"Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips
And alligator eyes
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs
And salamander thighs
Rabbit ears and camel rears
And tasty toenail pies
Stir `em all together
And it`s mama`s soup surprise"
I went into the bathroom
And I stood beside the sink
I said, "I`m feeling slightly ill
And I think I`d like a drink"
Mama said, "I`ve just the thing
I`ll get it in a wink
It`s full of lots of protein
And vitamins, I think"
"Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips
And alligator eyes
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs
And salamander thighs
Rabbit ears and camel rears
And tasty toenail pies
Stir `em all together
And it`s mama`s soup surprise"
