[Sca-cooks] Food Songs

[Phil Troy/ G. Tacitus Adamantius]

Also sprach Vincent Cuenca:
>Gotta agree with Adamantius; it's hard to beat "Have a Little Priest" from
>"Sweeney Todd".

>Another favorite is one I learned from my mother.  I have no idea how old it
>is or what it's original title is; we just called it "Johnny Verbeck".  It's
>about a Dutchman (Deutschmann?) who owns a deli, and who invents an
>automatic sausage machine.  To keep up with demand, he starts tossing the
>local pets in the grinder.  At the end, he meets his comeuppance: while
>Johnny is inside the machine making repairs, his somnambulist wife fires up
>the works, and Johnny ends up as bratwurst.
>
>Come to think of it, this explains a lot about my basic temperament


I think children are too sheltered these days anyway ;-)

Come to think of it, I'm also quite fond of the Irish song I once
heard at a Chieftains concert, sung a capella, titled, I think,
simply "The Salt".

Lyrics on da Web under that name.
