Jewish World Review March 31, 2005 / 20 Adar II, 5765 Drive thru Golden Arches for McHits By Lenore Skenazy
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Now that McDonald's is paying rappers to riff on Mickey D's, how long before older songs get retooled? Some McHits we expect to hear soon:
To "The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)"
Filet-o, Filet-o
Lunchtime come and I gotta one wish.
Filet-o, filet-o
Lunchtime come and I wanna square fish.
To The Beatles' "Drive My Car"
Asked a girl what she wanted to eat
She said, "Baby, can't you see?
I wanna be skinny, a star of the screen
So I need something fresh and green." McSalad, baby, in the car!
Dressing by a movie star
McSalad, baby, in the car
And, baby, I'm lovin' it.
To "Scarborough Fair"
Are you going to finish your fries?
Ketchup, salt, but please hold the thyme
Remember me as one who would share
I once gave you two fries of mine.
To "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
Supersize-the-fries-delicious-expialidocious
Even though the smell of them will give you halitosis
If you eat 'em long enough, you know your diagnosis:
Super-cali-fragilis-arteriosclerosis!
To "Guantanamera"
One Quarter Pounder!
I needa one Quarter Pounder
One Quarter Pounder
I needa one Quarter Pounder.
To "Send In The Clowns"
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it thick?
Me with my straw in my shake
You take a lick.
Send in the pounds
We're packing on pounds
All straight to the rear.
To "Sunny Day (The Sesame Street Song)"
Sunny day
I need a break today
On my way to finding food, folks, fun!
Can you tell me where to get
Where to get a Sesame bun?
With some special sauce by the ton?
To "The Birthday Song"
Happy Meal day to you!
Happy Meal day to you!
Happy Meal day, Dear Customer Who Is Crying Under the Plastic Chair Because The Prize Is Already Broken
Happy Meal day to you.
To "Puff (The Magic Dragon)"
Puff, the Egg McMuffin
Lived by the sea
And frolicked with the breakfast crowd
In a land called Mickey D's!
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that Egg McMuff
And piled him high with ketchup packs
And other fancy stuff.
One sad day it happened:
Jackie Paper came no more
He'd blimped up to size 52
And couldn't squeeze out his door.
Oh Puff the Egg McMuffin
Lived by the sea
And frolicked with the breakfast crowd
In a land called Mickey D's.
