This is for all you kids out there that hate your mom and pop
For forcin' you to eat everything that's on your dinner plate every night
C G
When I was a little kid I never liked to eat
D
Mom would put things on my plate and I'd dump 'em on her feet
G C G
But then one day she made this soup I ate it all in bed
D G
I asked her what she put in it and this is what she said:
C G
Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
D
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs
G C G
Yeah, rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies
D G
Stir 'em all together and it's mama's soup surprise

G C G
Mama said, "I've just the thing I'll get it in a wink
D G
It's full of lots of protein and vitamins, I think"

It was, chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
D
Yeah, monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs
G C G
Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies

Stir 'em all together and it's mama's soup surprise
