Back to The Song Challenge Winners!


Anyone is welcome to perform these songs in public without royalties; however, if any of them are recorded or published for profit, the writers/composers expect the usual royalties.

SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

This CHALLENGE! was posted by popular demand (it would seem) and/or by thread creep from another thread. (For info, check out this thread).  The CHALLENGE! was to write a song about food -- your favorite food, your least favorite food, the things in your refrigerator, etc. Any food-based topic was fine.

I Draw The Line by Troll

Now ev'ry body gots somethin, 
Gots somethin they won't eat. 
Child you know it's true. 
Yeah ev'ry body gots somethin, 
Some people won't eat chittlins, 
Other folks don' like pigs feet. 
Now I will eat most anythin, 
That you can serve up on a plate, 
Or in a bowl. 
Yeah I will eat most anythin, 
That you can serve up on a plate. 
It don't need to be special, 
It don't need to be nothin great. 
Cause I'll eat alligator and I'll eat possum too. 
Sorry Spaw 
You know I'll eat alligator, 
And I'll eat possum too. 
I loves that cracklin cornbread, 
A great big heapin bowl of catfish stew. 
Eat snakes and snails and spinach, 
Eat sardines right out the can. 
With chocolate milk. 
Eat snakes and snails and spinach 
Sardines right out the everlovin' can. 
Eat eggs and pickeled herring, 
eat a sandwich made of Spam. 
But ev'ry one gots someplace. 
Gots someplace where they draws the line. 
You know they do now. 
Lord Lord, ev'ry one gots someplace. 
Baby where they draws the line. 
Yeah ev'ry one gots someplace, 
And babe you know that I gots mine. 
I'll eat what you gots to offer, 
And I'll say it's mighty fine. 
You know I will 
I'll eat what you gots to offer. 
Yes I'll say it's mighty fine. 
But don' you feed me no eggplant 
Cause eggplants where I draw the line.
