Sadly, at the end of tomorrow, we’ll begin to sing the blues. So here is my homage to Beef. It’s what was for dinner.
[You’ll know the tune, with sincere apologies to the Everly Brothers]
Bye, bye, beef
Bye, bye, bacon strips
Hello, veggie dogs
I think I’m gonna cry
Bye, bye, beef
Bye, bye, barbeque
Hello, ol’ tofu
I feel like I could die
Bye, bye, sirloin, goodbye
There goes my burger
With someone new
He sure looks happy
I sure am blue
That was my Big Mac
Till Lent stepped in
Goodbye to meatloaf
That might have been
Bye, bye, beef
Bye, bye, bacon strips
Hello, veggie dogs
I think I’m gonna cry
Bye, bye, beef
Bye, bye, barbeque
Hello, ol’ tofu
I feel like I could die
Bye, bye, sirloin, goodbye
I’m through with bratwurst
I’m through with steak
I’m through with T-bone
My heart will break
And here’s the reason
That I’m so thin
This soy tastes awful
When will this end?
Bye, bye, beef
Bye, bye, bacon strips
Hello, veggie dogs
I think I’m gonna cry
Bye, bye, beef
Bye, bye, barbeque
Hello, ol’ tofu
I feel like I could die
Bye, bye, sirloin, goodbye
Bye, bye, sirloin, goodbye
Bye, bye, sirloin, goodbye
