Do you slurp when eating your soup
It's perfectly okay you know
In the rules for soup, especially tomato
Slurping should be audible I'm told
Also messing up a clean white tuxedo
Is also a law of the kitchen
To proudly display it for a couple of days
Not allowed to blame it on a kitten
Definitely a sign of aristocracy it seems
Servants used to wipe up the mess
You'd never think of cleaning it up yourself
Beneath your standing I guess
Eating your soup without some slurping
Is banned in certain countries
Also must dribble it's part of the scene
Helps if you're wearing just undies<>

Do you remember those Campbell soup ads where the children looked like
cherubs, even when their bad?
Their angelic faces slurping "mm mm good". Mom's ran off to buy some. every body should.
I just met a woman with a Campbell soup face. No matter what she says its
easier to take. Mm mm good.

The pure green goodness of grasshopper pie!
Tasting that mint gives me a delicious high!
Thinking of insects as I eat is my last choice.
But this recipe was penned by a humor named Joyce.
So come on marshmallows and Oreos too.
We are going to have to make this insane name do.
We all gulp it down without thinking about
The grasshoppers that would make hopping feet prints no doubt.
Grasshopper pie, I am in love with your colors so sweet.
Bright verdant green and the Oreo black are a treat.
Your name is good too, it will help me tease my little cousin Bill.
Guess how many grasshoppers we had to kill?

Dog is washing her paw
Noisiest loudest grooming ever.
Gulping and slurping.
Chewing and chomping.
I no longer hear the ticks of the clock.
Or the TV set. All I hear are her incessant
Mouth noises. No one has ever been
Happier to groom themselves.

Spitting it back up.
He runs so Fast
And slobbers.

Also messing up a clean white tuxedo
Is also a law of the kitchen
To proudly display it for a couple of days
It proves you have been smitten
It's definitely a sign of aristocracy it seems
Servants used to wipe up the mess
