The Lyrics

A harp went off watching "Hard Day's Night" this morning.

Can’t fry me dove, dove
Can’t fry me dove.

I’ll buy you a duck or quail my friend for our dinner guests tonight.
I’ll get you Tyson’s best game hen that’ll satisfy just right.
‘Cause I don’t care for dove with honey,
Honey can’t fry me dove.

I’ll give you all the wild rice that’ll go well with this dish.
And poultry begs for asparagus which is why we passed on fish.
I don’t care for dove with honey,
Honey can’t fry me dove.

Can’t fry me dove, how could you stoop so low?
Can’t fry me dove, woe woe woe, woe.

Say you won’t buy that dove no more and you’ll be justified.
Tell me those-white-birds that I adore won’t ever be deep-fried.
I don’t care for dove with honey,
Honey can’t fry me dove.

Thanks Mark, Alvin. As I type this I've just had my first taste of duck, now immortalized in this thread.

Jim - Amazing wordsmithing on this one. This has been a pure pleasure to read. The parody is flawless and flows even better than the OS. This one would make for a good recording and could be even better if made properly into a music video.

There are a lot of doves in my neighborhood. They like to roost in a very tall tree in one of my neighbor's yard. We have falcons and hawks in the area. Every once in a while when I am in my backyard the doves will all just suddenly take off making a lot of noise flapping their wings. Glancing around the sky I often see either a pair of falcons or a hawk cruising the area.

One day last year I was in my bedroom on the 2nd floor. Something hit the window very hard. The shades were pulled so I could not tell what it was. I peered out through the drapes and there was a whole lot of dove feathers all over the roof of my backyard deck. So on that day the falcon done fried me dove.

Food parodies have been popular since Weird Al did "Eat It". This one is just as good as "Eat it". High fives!

Thanks so much Guy & Leo, the recording is on the backburner. Great dove story BTW!
