S P a M

Those from the islands
consider it a feat
to partake of this meat.
They fry it for breakfast
and the day's not complete
unless it's stirred into soups
simmered to red heat.

(Refrain)
Not even Charlton Heston
would touch that intestine.
A Chinese yam
an old picnic ham
All take a front seat
to that pink, greasy meat.

A preliminary exam
of that container of spam
reveals the discrete
use of waste meat.

Bowels and snouts
the back of the lap
mixed with chassis lube
and other such crap.
Teats, and feet
stuff off the street
compound the most part
of that horrible meat.

{Refrain)

Yes, ma'am
We are serving spam
We are under the orders
of Uncle Sam.
We're conserving best cuts
by eating the guts and
conserving resources
by grinding up horses
