A cockroach did some backstrokes in Clyde's soup
He was quite alarmed and thrown for a loop
The waiter said no sweat
Sir, there's no need to fret
He won't consume very much of your soup

Avait besoin de secours
Voilà l'endroit
Elle a gardé sa foi
Un ami
Dans notre vie
Réflexion d'eau
Des plus haut
Toujours là
Pas laisser une fois
Quelqu'un qui me fais rire
Surtout sourire
Tu nous délivres tous les jours
Merci de ton amour
Ta note d'amour que tu nous chantes
Je vous fais confiance

You know you can't go out to play
For today is the Sabbath Day
You must keep it holy
You can't be their goalie
So go to your corner and pray!

So beautiful it makes
even anger ...
Beauty that makes
hurt...
Beauty that makes me
cry
for you miss!
You are beautiful
that i want to die...
So beautiful to give me
hunger...
You are beautiful even
saying your name...
So Beautiful to cause
earthquakes in the landscape,
of shaking me ...
So beautiful to cause fear,
to confine anyone ...
Belle de jour
de la belle vie ...
Too bad, too bad
of not being able to have you
for me... !

Today did not dawn like yesterday
The same east but a different aurora
Different faces encountered on my way
Like the same day to day chores with different flavor
In life I can be a diner displeased with the menu
Or I can be a chef with a message to be devoured
I can bore my restaurateurs with last night’s food
Or I can always prepare a new soup du jour

I am the soup of
the day, a title I share
with so many like myself,
yet there is no such
thing as a soup of the week
month, or year, so we all think
it is about time
recognition is
best, each day, 'SOUP OF THE YEAR!'

The growin seasons over
The weathers getting colder
Makes one think of hot tea and soup
Takes the chill out of the bones
Makes a home feel like home
Chase it down with something eighty proof
You might call it a stew
That's entirely up to you
But it's broth not a sauce
It's good ol' whatcha got
From the garden's in the pot
Soup
When you're hibernatin like a bear
Cabin feverish pullin out your hair
You should do somthing that you know you should
Put some water on a simmer
It's always a winner
And sure as shootin's gonna be good
Take some thyme and mint
And experiment
Cause it's all that you tossed
In it's good ol' whatcha got
From the garden's in the pot
Soup
(Instrumental: The Dirty Dish Rag)
So don't be so shocked
It's good ol' whatcha got
From the garden's in the pot
Soup

"Hey, Waiter! There's a shark doing the backstroke in my soup du jour!"
"I wouldn't worry too much about it sir! He won't eat much of it for sure!"

J'ai oublié le jour
Quand tu as volé mon coeur
je suis devenu très froid
la vie je ne crois pas encore
la musique m'a échappé
Je ne ris plus
je n'ai plus de larmes
ni de charme
morte comme la rose noire
J'ai oublié le jour
j'ai oublie mon coeur
je ne connais plus l'amour
rien n'est tout ce qui m'appartient
J'ai oublie ma vie
et tout le reste
comme ça il n'y a pas d'histoire
seulement une larme et le noir
Viens me voir
sous les étoiles
sous la terre
oublie moi

Do not make our President cry
Screw your neighbors until they die
Do not make an elephant cry
Shoot them first, don't wonder why
Do not make our Congress cry
Grope the girls and tell a lie
Do not make the media sad
In America, all is bad

"Had I not broadened my menu, I never could have developed Good Taste"
With all these ingredients, that have simmered in this soup
Has made some tasty dishes, from caviar to poop
With chefs from 'round the world, and recipes sublime
Has made their kind of poetry, a favorite meal of mine
PS: the part mentioning the poop (pooh) is attributed mainly to Jan Allison's contributions in the Soup, You've Got to Love Her !

No never no calls
From daughter or son
No never it seems
Nobody no way.
Daughter is plastic
And son is too old
No never, no calls,
Never, no way.
Industrial pimping
To arouse a eyebrow,
But to take a mere moment
No, never, no way.

Facebook's beginning to look like Poetry Soup
There's Becca! Richard! Tim's in the group!
Julia's here! Andrea! Liz and Paul
Demetrios! Eileen! WOW that's not all!
So come on in and join us
Cause you never know who'll you see!
We're making Soup out of Facebook
And it's looking good to me!
