The goal of our "Song Challenges" is to write songs/lyrics on demand within set parameters. We don't critique each other's songs in this thread (but you can say you like someone's song if you want to.) Please post your original works. If you have already written a song/lyric that fits within the parameters, please feel free to post it.

The new challenge is to write a song with a cooking or food theme. The focus of the song can be about other things: memories, relationships, etc. but cooking/food needs to be a predominant feature of the song.

Hi Jean,

This was posted on another thread so I copied it here smile ....(needs a fun uptempo melody w/some italiany instrumental flavor-hint hint-anyone?)


"Lasagna Love"
(c)2009 Lynn Orloff (novelty song)

There once was a lady named Linda
She cooked at a restaurant in town
And one day a patron named Vito
Smelled her cooking, came in and sat down

Well he ordered a plate of lasagna
A salad some vino and bread
It wasn’t the wine or the music
But the lasagna that went to his head

Chorus
(Yes)Vito was fond of lasagna
Lasagna was the way to his heart
So Linda would make it and then quickly bake it
As long as she did they never would part


While Linda continued her cooking
Her Vito continued to eat
Their relationship grew, his waistline did too
But lasagna and love tasted sweet

Then one day he asked her to marry
To give up her job and stay home
He begged her to still make lasagna
He promised he never would roam.

Oh Vito was fond of lasagna
Lasagna was the way to his heart
So Linda would make it and then quickly bake it
A long as she did they never would part


Bridge
She made capellini, she made bolognese, (pronounced bowl la nase)
She made scallopini, but what can I say…


Her Vito just wanted lasagna
Lasagna was the way to his heart
So Linda would make it and then quickly bake it
As long as she did they never would part
As long as she did they never would part

I wrote this a long time ago,and I realize that it doesnt meter well at all,but it seemed to fit the criteria for this challenge..Grandma's Fried Chicken and Aunt Boo's Tea


I remember the weekends well
Thinkn back when I was a kid
Every Saturday was spent at Grandmas house
It was just something that we did
And everyone would show up there
All of my aunts,uncles ,and cousins
Every woman would bring thier specialty
to feed all of the dozens
I looked forward to those Saturdays
and all the family I would see
But what I wanted the most....
Grandmas Fried Chicken and Aunt Boos Tea


No one does it quite like them
they truly do it best
I tried to copy recipes
and I've put them to the test
I've asked other family members too
They said just leave it be
No one else can do it right......
For Grandmas Fried Chicken and Aunt Boo's Tea

I love the way were all together
We seemed so very close
Playing games of hide and seek
and running through the garden hose
Then we'd all line up for dinner
Grandma'd set us all in rows
Oh how I loved my family
It was a lovely sight to see
But I really wanted what was next....
Grandmas Fried Chicken and Aunt Boo's Tea

No one does it quite like them
They truly do it best
I've tried to copy recipes
and I've put them to the test
I asked other family members too
they say just leave it be
No one else can do it right
For Grandmas Fried Chicken and Aunt Boo's Tea

We've all gone our seperate ways for now
and some have grandkids of own own
if I'd known time would change everything
I'd wished I'd never would have grown

Grandmas Fried Chicken and Aunt Boos Tea
was made with so much love
and i know they're cooking up a storm
somewhere up above
Since you two have gone away
it seems we've fell apart
but the memories you tried to make for us
I will cherish in my heart
I will see you both again
what a reunion that will be
Grandma ,just bring the fried chicken
and tell Aunt Boo to bring the tea

Hi Jean,
Fresh off the drawing board.
Probably got a few meter problems, (Among other things) but heck it's only a half hour old
Wy

She Isn't Too Bad Lookin'

She was plumb habit forming
From supper at six to breakfast in the morning
She sure did make a good impression
And I absorbed every lesson

She isn't too bad lookin'
And you oughta taste her cookin
Get's purtier each and every day
I never felt so good
And I know I should
Be movin'or I'll never get away

Leaving one eve while I was able
But she'd left a late night snack there on the table
Under that was the menu for the weekend
My willpower began to weaken

She isn't too bad lookin'
And you oughta taste her cookin
Gets purtier each and every day
I never felt so good
And I know I should
Be leavin or I'll never get away

B
A free roamin man has got no business here
I'm gonna be a' goin, probably next year

She isn't too bad lookin'
And you oughta taste her cookin
Gets purtier each and every day
I never felt so good
And I know I should
Be leavin or I'll never get away

Hi Jean,
Love the challenges.
Here's my new one.


Double Dose Concoction (to Cure His Ails)

Verse 1
Chosen to bake brownies for the after game potluck,
Gotta talkin Mr. Crow, elected as the "ump",
He's the school custodial, hangs out with the cooks,
Time we get to lunch line, we get rooked.

Verse 2
Mr.Crow's gotta son that plays for "Backwood Bears",
Him bein on the rival, calls an "out" unfair,
Crow he's gotta sweet tooth, couldn't fill a whale,
We mixed up ingredients, to cure his "ails"

Chorus
We're low on chocolate..cried Billy Dottle,
Just a hershey squirt came out the bottle,
Bob brought to the kitchen, the x-lax box,
Joe came hashin in with blow, to knock socks off,
Figured well, we most kill..two birds with one stone..
Our team better win when we play home.

Verse 3
Sure'nough lost home game, after the Crow called,
He found the brownie table, we laughed up a ball,
Next day Billy heard it said, by the 'tendance woman,
Gotta sub custodian, Crow ain't commin.

Pre Chorus
Got no lunch line brownies, forgot to mention,
Worth every day of a week suspention (because)

Chorus
We're low on chocolate..said Billy Dottle,
Just a hershey squirt came out the bottle,
Bob brought to the kitchen, the x-lax box,
Joe came hashin in with blow, to knock socks off,
Figured well, we most kill..two birds with one stone..
Our team better win when we play home.

Tag
Double dose concoction sure cured his ails,
As he was risin high over left field.

Oh, what fun! Great idea for a theme, Jean. smile

Here's one of mine. Well, two actually. The first is the female version, the second is for male vox. I envisage a lazy,raunchy kind of blues-jazz feel.

Donna

The Honey Pot’s Empty (and There’s Egg on Your Face) (female vox)

(v1)
You bought me fifty-dollar dinners
Had your gravy on the side
Thought you had me buttered up
But I knew every time you lied

(v2)
You called me your little cream puff
Liked the way I stirred your stew
You’d best get used to starvin’
I’ve no more jelly-roll for you

Chorus
Now the honey pot’s empty
And there’s egg on your face
This table is reserved
No more snackin’ at my place

(v3)
You told me I was your pumpkin
I was your little cherry pie
Your sugar-sweet patootie
So here’s a big slice of ‘goodbye’

Bridge
Eatin’ at a new diner
Puttin’ too much on your plate
Baby you’re gonna get heartburn
When you find out I didn’t wait

Chorus
Now the honey pot’s empty
And there’s egg on your face
This table is reserved
No more snackin’ at my place

Tag (fading)
mmmmm hmmmmm You cooked your own goose, darlin’…

The Candy Stores’s Closin’ (and There’s Egg on Your Face) (male vox)

(v1)
I bought you fifty-dollar dinners
You got your gravy on the side
You thought you had me buttered up
But I always knew when you lied

Chorus
Now the candy store’s closin’
And there’s egg on your face
‘Cause some other lovin’ woman
Is cookin' up a storm in your place

(v2)
You said I was your hunk of beefsteak
You liked the way I stirred your stew
But now you’re gonna go hungry
There’s no more candy-cane for you

Chorus
Now the candy store’s closin’
And there’s egg on your face
‘Cause some other lovin’ woman
Is cookin' up a storm in your place

Bridge
Someone else at your table
You’ve got too much on your plate
Baby you’re gonna get heartburn
When you find out I didn’t wait

Chorus
Now the candy store’s closin’
And there’s egg on your face
‘Cause some other lovin’ woman
Is cookin' up a storm in your place

(fading)
mmmmm hmmmmm
How ‘bout them apples, darlin’?

LOL, Michelle, that's a cute one. If it goes to music, it should be easy to clean up the meter.

This is just a very silly one just meant for the purposes of this exercise/challenge.

The Butter Fly
© Vicki Ferloin-Shields 05012009

You came home after working late
Smelling like cheap perfume
looked down at your empty plate
And yelled, “I want my dinner soon!”
You deserve only bread and butter
With your fist clenched you said “woman go get my supper!”

Then you saw
The butter fly
As it sailed
Past your eyes
if you talk that way
There will be hell to pay
And you saw
The butter fly
Oh butter fly

After what happened here tonight
We both have had enough
I packed up your suitcase right
So you wouldn’t take my stuff
You were just about out the door
When your stomach growled and you said you need more

And you saw
The butter fly
As it sailed
Past your eyes
If you talk that way
There will be hell to pay
And you saw
The butter fly
Oh butter fly

You just want some dinner
But I don’t cook for liars or for sinners

And you saw
The butter fly
As it sailed
Past your eyes
If you talk that way
There will be hell to pay
And you saw
The butter fly
Oh butter fly

Mama Cookin’ Cajun Tonight!
©2002 J.M. Richardson

Intro: Mama cookin’ Mama cookin’,
Mama, Mama cookin’ Cajun again!

1. All de smoke it pour out de window,
use to give de neighbors a fright,
when dey see it now, dey all smile ‘n say,
“look like Mama cookin’ Cajun tonight!”

Chorus:
Mama cookin’, Mama cookin’,
Mama, Mama cookin’ Cajun again.
Call de Fire Brigade 'n tell ‘em “false alarm;
it only Mama cookin’ Cajun again.

2. Someone told me food came in color;
Mama’s food, it had only one.
Didn’t have to ask when it was time to eat,
it turn black den we knew it was done.

Chorus:
Mama cookin’, Mama cookin’,
Mama, Mama cookin’ Cajun again.
Call de Fire Brigade 'n tell ‘em “false alarm;
it only Mama cookin’ Cajun again.

Bridge:
Black fish, black steak,
Black mashed potato __
Blackened ham ‘n stewed tomato,
Black eggs ‘n toast, black turkey wing,
Black cake ‘n pie, black ev’rything!

Chorus:
Mama cookin’, Mama cookin’,
Mama, Mama cookin’ Cajun again.
Call de Fire Brigade 'n tell ‘em “false alarm;
it only Mama cookin’ Cajun again.

This is an old one, thought I'd toss into the mix -- you've been great keeping up with these Jean. I still sorta liked this one...maybe I'll bring it over to Lyric 3 for some nit-picking!!

Thanks!
Beth

"Cookie"
© 2008 Lyrics Beth Williams

Her nickname was Cookie
Oh the boys loved to look-ie
She was happy to give
Whatever they too-kie
Sometimes this meant
A few rounds of nook-ie
No worries for her,
She wasn’t a rookie

Her real name was Doris
But that was a snore-is
Alas pretty soon
They called her a whore-is
She’d do it wherever
The bed or the floor-is
It was never enough
Always, more-more-MORE-is

Cookie
Sweet Cookie
Once sugar and spices
But you kept getting burnt
So you just raised your prices
I worry the fall will be hard when it comes
They’ll be nothing left of Cookie
Except for some crumbs

But for all of her money
She got tired of fun-ny
She’d never known lovin
Not with anyone-y
So when in her oven
She found a boy bun-ny
She named him Chip
Then gave away son-ny

Cookie
Sweet Cookie
Once sugar and spices
But you kept getting burnt
So you just raised your prices
I worry the fall will be hard when it comes
They’ll be nothing left of Cookie
Except for some crumbs

Teenagers, hubbies, the old ones, no matter
She’d stopped keeping score,
Just “new batter, new batter”!

Cookie
Sweet Cookie
Once sugar and spices
But you kept getting burnt
So you just raised your prices
You thought you’d be able to handle this life
Should have rescued you Doris
And made you my wife

Here is perhaps my one and only piece with a food reference. I may have inadvertently sent this earlier through a PM. It's called "A Bowl of Gumbo". I am a lover of both cajun-styl music and cooking even though I have never yet vistited the area. Many mainstream country stars have hailed from that area.


A BOWL OF GUMBO

c2001 Brian Beecher



When you fall in love with someone
It is easy and natural
To presume you both are on common ground

But dreams of the past made me
Discontented with the present
Till one magic moment when it was once again found

She gave me a bowl of gumbo
Just like down on the bayou
She asked me where did our love go
The calm after the storm

And then I would hold her
And me oh, my oh
That bowl of gumbo
Put our love back in tip top form

When the stress of life gets to you
In the end you may just have to
Muddle your way through as best you can

The right kind of love allows you
To put your mind in neutral
In that state solutions can be oh so grand

She gave me a bowl of gumbo
Just like down on the bayou
She asked me where did our love go
The calm after the storm

And then I would hold her
And me oh, my oh
That bowl of gumbo
Put our love back in tip top form

The familiarity of routine
Has a positive role in life
Even though it may seem like a bore at times



Yet an indirect declaration
Of love has a way of
Pushing any other thought out of your mind

She gave me a bowl of gumbo
Just like down on the bayou
She asked me where did our love go
The calm after the storm

And then I would hold her
And me oh, my oh
That bowl of gumbo
Put our love back in tip top form

Hey that bowl of gumbo
Put our love back in tip top form

Thanks for posting this, Brian. Guess the way to a man's heart really is through his stomach.
