Join Me Again

I bet you $100 that last year’s March 13th wasn’t very good for you. It was a Tuesday and you probably wanted mama’s special for dinner but your spouse made broccoli and raisin sour mash instead. In 2013 I give you the opportunity to live the March 13th of your dreams with the second edition of Weird Al Karaoke as part of Toronto SketchFest. It’s at 10:30pm and features some of my favourite, real friends singing original parodies. Last time I sang a parody of “Sad But True” called “Bad Beef Stew”. As a special treat, here are the never before published lyrics:

Hey, I’m your chef
I’m the one who cooks your food
Hey I’m your chef
I’m going to make a stew
Oh no, I’m out of salt  
And I’m out of potatoes
Oh well, heat the pot
It’s almost dinner time

I’m your steam, cooks the veal
I’m your beets that you must peel
I’m the man who cooks your meal, bad beef stew
I’m your steam, big buffet
I’m your beets cook them all day
I am friends with Bobby Flay
You know it’s bad beef stew

You YOu you’re my boss
You’re my only employer
You you you’re my boss
You’re the one who pays
Do do do my best
Do my best when I make food
Do Do Do my job but this meal isn’t good.

I’m your steam that cooks the veal
I’m your beets that you must peel
I’m the man who cooks your meal, bad beef stew
I’m your steam, big buffet
I’m your beets cook them all day
I am friends with Bobby Flay
You know it’s bad beef stew

I’m your steam
I’m your beets
Bobby Flay
I’m your steam
I’m your beets
Bobby Flay
You know it’s bad beef stew

Wait, Wait, Don’t eat that
Don’t eat the stew it’s garbage
I’m I’m I’m ashamed
it’s made with rotten beef
Hey Hey I’m your chef
I’m the one who cooked your stew
Hey Hey, I’m your chef please don’t fire me

I’m your steam that cooks the veal
I’m your beets that you must peel
I’m the man who cooks your meal, bad beef stew
I’m your steam, big buffet
I’m your beets cook them all day
I am friends with Bobby Flay
You know it’s bad beef stew
