The Lyrics

You were working as a waitress in a sushi bar
Where I ate food

I puked it out, I shook and coughed and turned blue and brown
Hurling up sea urchin stew

Now five years later on I run "The World of Your Meat"
Success has been a snap for this dude

But when you came to see me there you wanted some chow
And said you wanted steak that mooed


Don't -
- don't chew raw meat!

You know I can't believe it when I hear you want it bleeding!

Don't -
- don't chew raw meat!

You know I don't believe you when you say it's safe as sushi!

A porterhouse sublime,
and prime ribs sound divine --
-- you'd better cook 'em well or we will both be sorry!

Don't chew raw meat, baby!
Don't chew raw meat, NO-O-O-O!
Don't chew raw meat, baby!
Don't chew raw meat, NO-O-O-O!

( instrumental )

I was working as a butcher in my "Meat World" spa
And watched you chew

Raw meat you ate -- it sent you to a much better place
Now the world is without you

For five years I have had a good fun-filled time
I think of you

But now you think it's time to give my life frightful moans
Your ghostly gusting cry said "BOO!"

Don't -
- don't you haunt me!

You know my pants are peed in when I hear your gruesome screaming!

Don't -
- don't you haunt me!

You know they don't believe me when I say that you won't leave me!

I think it's time to find,
a way to change your mind --
-- and ex-or-cise you back to all your ghostly buddies!

Don't you haunt me, baby!
Don't you haunt me, NO-O-O-O!
Don't you haunt me, baby!
Don't you haunt me, NO-O-O-O!

Don't you haunt me, baby!
Don't you haunt me, NO-O-O-O!
Don't you haunt me, baby!
Don't you haunt me, NO-O-O-O!
Don't you haunt me, baby!
Don't you haunt me, NO-O-O-O!
Don't you haunt me, baby!
Don't you haunt me, NO-O-O-O!
Don't you haunt me, baby!
Don't you haunt me, NO-O-O-O!
Don't you haunt me, baby!
Don't you haunt me, NO-O-O-O!

The steak may be raw, but your parodizing is well done.

Um...okay. It's really weird, but somehow I felt it deserved 545.

I had an idea on the back burner about doing a "Don't You Haunt Me" parody around Casper, but ya snooze, ya lose.
I believe the term is "carpaccio" 555

With Mad Cow Disease rearing its ugly head again here in the UK, this is strangely poignant. Wonderfully silly...and great to see you submitting again, JD. 555

:-) Reminds me of the Denis Leary routine where he says something along the lines of "better still, bring the live cow. I'll carve off what I want, and RIDE the rest home!"
Strangely enough, the first album I bought was the one this came from (Dare)... played it through once, and never again.
(psst, Kristof - it's foot and mouth, not mad cow)

I liked the sarcasm of the "safe as sushi" line.

Just FYI: I agree with alvin on "Don't chew raw meat" being an EXTREMELY clever sub.

way way better than the OS - and "don't chew raw meat" is way way better than the OS as well - has the masterful stamp of JD all over it, this one - 555
