Did you actually think I was serious?

Of course, he could be a she and a baker at that!

Po Hannah and I were sitting at the Hoka late at night and were watching the cook with his cigarette ash dangling over the food he was cooking.  It was hot and miserable and he looked like he was about to crack under the pressure.   We were laughing about Jethro Bodine wanting to be a brain surgeon, soda jerk, or a fry cook and so we came up with this song.  It's always been a fun one to play and I'm afraid the people will pick up on it and it will become my "I'm not strange" (Keith Sykes) or Dear Abbey (John Prine).  You know the one song that you hate to play that you wrote kind of as a joke but everyone always wants you to play it.  At any rate, it's all done tongue in cheek and not to be taken seriously.
