What'll we have for dinner tonight?
How 'bout some leftover pie?
I'll throw in the peas and the corn
You put in chicken and rice.
Mix in a cup of leftover soup,
Sprinkle with pepper and salt.
Glorious, wonderful leftover food!
It's not my favorite at all.

CHORUS: Leftovers, leftovers
I'd offer to say the blessing but
This has been blessed before!
Leftovers, leftovers
We gotta clean out the fridge OR ELSE!
Mom won't go back to the store.

What'll we have for dinner tonight?
How 'bout some leftover stew?
I'll throw in potatoes and beans
You chop an onion or two.
We'll stir the pot and simmer awhile
Season with basil and sage,
Glorious, wonderful leftover food!
It only gets better with age! CHORUS

BRIDGE: We thank You for the food
You kindly put upon our table.
And we'll enjoy it fresh, dear Lord,
As much as we are able.
O Father, help us finish this before it gets too old,
'Cause we all get grossed out
when Mama's meatloaf turns to MOLD!

What'll we have for dinner tonight?
How 'bout some leftovers NUKED?
We'll sort them out and classify,
a sample from every food group.
We'll cram 'em in the microwave,
Set for ten minutes or more!
And when they're thoroughly shriveled up
That's when we head for the door!

Leftovers, Leftovers
I'd offer to help you eat them up,
But sorry, I can't stay!
Leftovers, leftovers.
We'll give the dog a tasty bite. (he'll scarf it down with great delight!)
But as for me (two-three-knock) I'm going out for pizza tonight!
