Something Delicious
By Eileen Quinn

Been out two months
and the food's running short
dreaming of raspberry chocolate torte
while I'm eating lentils
and alfalfa sprouts
they say it's good for me
but I've got my doubts
oh I want

ice cream, french fries
ice cream, french fries
sweet and frozen, crispy golden
ice cream, french fries
ice cream, french fries

 I've got potato flakes
and canned mixed vegetables
things I barely considerable edible
been opening up those mystery cans
floating in the bilge
since the dawn of man 

oh give me

a caesar salad and a T bone steak,
crunchy chilled, perfectly grilled
caesar salad and a T hone steak

I stopped sifting the flour
if you know what I mean
'cause I figured we could use a little extra protein
we drank the last tot of rum
the other day
but we're out of Tang
to mix it with anyway
I'd kill for

beer, cold beer, cold beer, cold beer…
frosty foamy, welcome homey
beer, cold beer, cold beer, cold beer…

oh give me something delicious
I don't care whether it's nutritious
at this stage I'll lick the dishes
but if I've got a choice then
what I wish is

ice cream, french fries....
caesar salad and a T bone steak
beer, cold beer, cold beer, cold beer.
