A Girl Named Puddin' (

She is round and short, but very sweet This is not the kind of girl for bare cupboards, she loves to eat If you invite her to dinner, please be advised She will want her second helpings twice So budget your food bill considering her invitation You will be cooking all night, so the next day for work, ask for vacation If she comes in the kitchen, she will insist on fresh and hot cookin' At 5ft 2, eyes of blue and 275, she is called Puddin' She says she entered a non-televised world wide event, hotdog eating contest against Kobyashi and won It was rigged so he was handed the prize, a lot of favoritism from the judges who all are from the land of the rising sun Her toaster pastries must be Pop Tarts On a flight she pays for an aisle and her own dinner cart She demands that her food be cooked with utensils that are wooden She is a wondrous creature and her name is Puddin' The doctor tells her she must cut back on her intake or suffer a heart attack or a stroke She no longer drinks regular soda, it is now all the dollar menu items and a Diet Coke The last time I heard about her and her whereabouts She lives above a seafood eatery and lives on oysters, refried beans and dishes that complement Trout So I say good luck on your endeavors, if you ever see her, I hope you wouldn't She is always ready to eat, may we bless that girl named Puddin'
