It Laid Heavy On My Stomach

Sung to the tune of:
            "He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother"



The spice was strong
The pasta was cooked too long
The garlic was everywhere, everywhere

And I know, meatballs were a big mistake


It laid heavy on my stomach


I ate too much
Butter and bread and such
The garlic was everywhere, everywhere

And I know, meatballs were a big mistake


It laid heavy on my stomach


If I lay down at all
         I’ll get up with nausea
And then it’s up all night
that’s what garlic will cause ya 
                I know, cause I’m still belching

It laid heavy on my stomach

A fun and enjoyable read, Mike. Always give second thought to those meatballs, or they will give second thought to you!
