The Lyrics

Some people are wondering what I am made of--
Gopher guts? Groundhog nuts?
I'm something that some folks are always afraid of
Am I real? will I kill?

Don't know if you will, but until you can bite me
Without knowing just how they make me or grind me
I'll stay what I am--
Unopened can of spam

I come in a block, when you fry me I shrivel
Lots of grease, drain me, please
But I surely have no more fat than does bacon
And you eat it, you hypocrite

Don't know if you will, but until you can bite me
Without knowing just how they make me or grind me
I'll stay what I am--
Unopened can of spam

I've had it to here being where I'm a small word
I'm just Spam, I'm not ham
But if you were hungry, I bet you would eat me
On some bread, with cheese spread..

Repeat Chorus

I loved 'when you fry me I shrivel'. Shrivel is a hilarious word. It topped off a perfect parody!

Royce, I kinda thought you were most a pastrami gal. I also thought you were male. ;)

Jonathan C--Pastrami?? No, I made my "I'm a female" declaration sometime back, but it's interesting how people treat you, depending on what gender they think you are. Regards

So now we know what Royce is made of: "Sugar and spice and everything nice." We still don't know for sure, however, whether Merry and Pip are made of that, or of "snips and snails and puppy-dog tails." But a nice job doing Neil Diamond from when he was actually a great songwriter, and not the "Jewish Elvis" who doesn't bring Barbra Streisand flowers anymore.

Michael Pacholek--Thanks so much for your kind comment about my parody. To be honest, "we all got a few snips and snails" in us from time to time, but I hope that sugar wins in the end. Regards
