Hillbilly Cuisines
I know some of you've been wondering
About the food that hilbillies eat
So I'll give you a little schooling
And I'll start with just the meat
First of all, we hardly ever eat possum
Them critters are just too mean
And we never eat woodpeckers
They're just way too lean
They say skunk on a stick is a delicacy
Though I've never tried none myself
I've heard it's pretty good pickled
If you leave it sitting on a shelf
Then you've heard about pig's feet
Well, I don't know where they've been
They're stepping around in God knows what
Out yonder in that pen
And I'm sure you've heard of eye of newt
Well that's for witches not a hillbilly
I was just seeing if you were paying attention
Now don't you feel kinda silly?
Anyway, you probably even heard we eat chicken
Well, okay, I guess we actualy do
But we always buy them from a store
Just like the rest of you
Now these are just a few of the things
That hillbillies just dont eat
Did I mention we sometimes use honey
And we rub it on our feet?
Okay, I might have just made that part up
Truth is we eat a lot of stuff, almost anything
Next time I bring you a menu
With our hillbilly cuisines
