Lyrics
Soggy Sandwich
I made a soggy sandwich
And much to my dismay
The bread was rather pasty
The lettuce just like hay
The mayo and the mato
Didn't help at all
I threw it in frustration
And it stuck against the wall
***
I left it and it dried there
Just like a work of art
I gave it special lighting
To help it look the part
And when I charged admission
People came form miles and miles
To see my soggy sandwich
Stuck against the wall
***
Experts studied it and marveled
What genius did create
The form is oh so splendid
The meaning of it great
I answered all their questions
As if I knew it all
About the soggy sandwich
That I threw against the wall
***
The Louvre they came a calling
And ask me if I'd sell
I told them they were crazy
And they could go to hell
This work it's not worth thousands
And millions just won't do
It'll need a special wing built
To get a proper view
***
They built the wing for viewing
This piece of art so fine
And had a grand grand opening
Serving cheese and wine
And there I was a standing
Next to my work of art
The flashing of the cameras
Nearly stopped my heart
***
The sandwich in all its glory
Hanging on that wall
Made me rather hungry
And I could hear it call
It told me I must eat it
The feeling felt so right
So I grabbed it off the wall
And devoured it in a bite
***
The food they serve in prison
It's really not that bad
And the many friends I've made there
Could never make me sad
If I had to do it over
No sandwich would I make
I would have been much better off
If I had only made a cake
