Lyric Sheet to Dinner With the Kannibles

Lyric Sheet to Dinner With the Kannibles
Usually my neighbors like me, sometimes
with corn on the cob and baked potatoes


Dinner With The Kannibles

(animal noises, an arrow into a door and a scream)

I peeked out my window and what did I see?
A moving truck, new neighbors moving in next to me
They had spears, weird animals and a huge barbeque
They played wild jungle music and there was screaming too

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Well one day we got an invitation to go over there for a meal
I told my wife about it and asked her how she would feel
She said "They're our new neighbors, let's go and don't be rude!"
Against my better judgment we'd go to the barbeque!

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Man I saw live chickens and heard a loud squeal
I was losin' my appetite and I wasn't ready for any meal.
They brought in some kind of meat sliced with a huge knife
I looked all around but you know what? I couldn't find my wife!

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)
Where'd she go?
Honey! Are you there?

Well, I wasn't hungry but they told me to eat
They told me when dinner was over that uh I was in for a treat
Then my wife came in from some room, she was in some sort of a trance
My neighbor started drumming and my wife began to dance!

Look at her go!
(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)
She got the move!
She dances with her closed!
Where'd she get those knives?

((jazz record interlude))

(audience clapping)

Oh OH!

Honey?! Where did she go?

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Well I felt relieved when I thought that dinner was through
They said it was just beginning - Time for the barbeque!
I said I wasn't hungry I was uh, feeling kinda ill (aww)
Then they tied me up and carried me out to the grill!

Ow!

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Be careful with that knife!
Has anyone seen my wife?
Oh oh!

You can hear the song here on this post: Dinner With The Kannibles

Well I hope you sang along. I still like this song - and it seems that where ever I move, there's always a new neighbor moving next to me.
