Three Course Date

I dined with a girl,
guess I should say
we both were free.

Her name was miss Ethel,
made me feel special,
t'was love I could see.

(Chorus)
She was my whole world 'til that romantic repast,
I didn't know how long my stomach would last...

She cooked on the grill,
looked like road kill'
in some kinda swill.

She said let us eat,
I asked her "why?"
she said "my treat."

(Chorus)
She said "have some more" and I asked for a bag,
She slopped on some more and I started to gag!

I sat on the couch,
in fetal crouch,
whispering "ouch".

She turned down the lamps,
I held back my cramps,
She wanted to dance...


She asked me to stay; she was making desert,
"It's Gopher gut pie" and..I.. hurled in my shirt !

And.. then I awoke,
It was a dream,
My shirt was clean.

So I stoked the fire,
...isn't it good,
to eat what we should.


to the tune of "Norweigan Wood" by the Beatles....(Key of D preferred please)
.inspired by John Heck's Beatlemania Sing Along.

Really a good sing-along filled with so much humor that I had to stop singing often just to let out some laughs. This was a great choice of song to rewrite, Robert, and I love your sense of humor! Love, Carolyn
