The Ballad of Mack. (part I)

[AFK]

I want to tell you a story
It's about this rodent named Mack.
It's a tale about a most unfortunate creature.
And how he ended up in a really bad situation.

You see, he had this problem.
He always managed to be in the wrong place.
at the wrong time.
He got into many scraps and scrapes,
With the tough as nails, inner city rats.

There was this one day.
When he'd been in a real doozy.
He had many cuts and gashes.
And they'd become nasty and oozy.

He was walking around,
Quite delerious and disorientated.
He didn't notice that he was walking into.
The brand new local zoo.

That's right, he was a:

oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
going forward and backward without nary a clue
oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
He can't get out, what will he do. 

As he wandered around in delerium,
He happened upon a wild boar.
Some people call them wild pigs.
But rats aren't picky about nomenclature.

He noticed the boar was eating.
The dinner he was enjoying smelled wonderful
And our hero, Mack, was weak.
And within his belly, much hunger.

He rapped upon the bars
Of the boars humble home.
He asked if he might share some
Of the boars delectable dining.

The boar lifted his head from his trough.
To reveal a meal of meaty lasagna.
He turned to Mack with a stern face
And proclaimed with a roaring voice,

He told Mack to...

Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog.
Scram, get lost, go jump in a bog.
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog.
Don't bother me no more, go choke on a frog.

It needs the thumping of a beer glass as a drum and someone on a guitar or fiddle plus shane macgowan singing it all.

I actually originally intended to set it to music, and I still may.

Heh, it was an adventure getting from "chorus" to "chorus".  I actually got the idea from a buddy of mine.  He wrote a song called "oozy rat in a sanitary zoo" but it was an instrumental. 

Now, that I have my dulcimer I think I may give this a go this weekend.

It needs a Stumpf Fiddle!!!!

Hmm, I agree.  Sadly, I am bereft of such instrument.  I'll have to substitute it for Nose Flute.
