another filk
This one I composed about six lines one day a long time ago while walking up the stairs into the apartment I just kind of sang them to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derien as they came. Good, bad, or indifferent here is the entire song. This song is a work of pure fabrication. I have never been to Bangkok and I always eat reasonable sized portions.
Sung to "One Night in Bangkok" from the Chess Soundtrack
Bangkok, table setting
And the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme brulee of the food world, I'll have
one of everything by Chinese New Year
Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since that nice little dish with snow peas in it
All change -- don't that know that when you
eat at this level, it's all on the menu
It's lamb -- or aubergine -- or dumplings -- or -- or
egg rolls!
One night in Bangkok go and have some oysters
The bars serve late but the drinks aren't free
You'll find an appetizer of your choice sir.
And if you're lucky it will be tasty.
I can feel a waiter sliding up to me
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your curry, brother
It's a saag, it's a borscht, it's really such a pity
To be looking at your bowl, not looking at the city
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --
Tea, soup, sour and sweet
Why do you eat like you're eating for a week?
Get Thai! You're talking to a tourist
who's every ingredient is among the purest.
I put my pounds around my waistline sunshine.
One night in Bangkok wish you could find scumble
No space between the table and my belly.
One night in Bangkok and your wallet's humble
Can't be to careful with visa company
I can see the owner walking up to me.
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of gastric fitness
My belt grips me more than would a'
anaconda or being set on by Buddha
Thank God I'm only eating the meal -- not preparing it --
I don't see you guys counting
The kind of calories I'm contemplating
I'd let you join, I would invite you
But the table's to small and I might just bite you
So you better go back to your salad bars, your curves, your yoga classes.
