Lyrics

I've eaten many strange and scrumptious dishes in my time Like jellied bugs and curried slugs and earwigs cooked in slime And mice with rice is very nice when they're roasted in their prime But don't forget to sprinkle them with just a pinch of grime I'm crazy 'bout mosquitoes on a piece of buttered toast And pickled spines of porcupines and then a great big roast And dragon's flesh, quite old, not fresh, it costs a buck at most (Does it come with gravy?) It comes to you in barrels if you order it by post It comes to you in barrels if you order it by post For dinner on my birthday, shall I tell you what I chose? Hot noodles made of poodles on a slice of garden hose And a rather smelly jelly, made of armadillo's toes The jelly is delicious, but you have to hold your nose Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach I crave the tasty tentacles of octopi for tea I like hot dogs, but I love hot frogs, and surely you'll agree A plate of soil with engine oil's a super recipe (Recipe) I hardly need to mention that it's practically free Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach We hardly need to mention that it's practically free Now comes, my fellow travelers, the burden of my speech (You show off) These foods are rare, beyond compare and some right out of reach (Nice inn commodore) But there's no doubt I'd go without a million plates of each (Out of my face) For one small mite (One small mite) One tiny bite (Tiny bite of this fantastic peach) Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach And this fantastic peach
