Picha Pie
Parokya ni Edgar
Filipino lyrics
at first I was afraid to eat a picha pie
kept thinking this is not good
this is a picha pie
and so I spent so many nights
just eating my tortang talong
and I grew strong
because of my tortang talong
biglang may box from outer space
kinuha ko sabay pinulot ko
yung box from outer space
binuksan ko at nasindak
may picha pie, sobrang laki
tinikman ko, within five seconds
naubos ko parang mani
ngayon ako ay ganito
kung di ka Picha Hut o Shakey's
you're not welcome anymore
ngayon sa aking picha pie
ayoko nang mahiwalay
para sayo handa akong magpakamatay
'coz now I love my picha pie
yeah, as long as I eat picha pie
I know I'll stay alive
I want all my garlic beef,
pepperoni, double-cheese
o picha pie, o picha pie
penge
it took all the cash I had
naubos nang lahat
gusto ko pa ng picha pie
pero ang pera'y di sapat
and so I spent so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
it made me cry
wala na ba 'kong picha pie?
ngayon ako ay nagipit
hindi na'ko istupid person
na hindi nag-iisip
medyo mahal ang picha pie
you can't expect it to be free
and so I'm saving all my money
para merong pambili
ngayon ako ay ganito
kung di ka Picha Hut o Shakey's
you're not welcome anymore
ngayon sa aking picha pie
ayoko nang mahiwalay
para sayo handa akong magpakamatay
'coz now I love my picha pie
yeah, as long as I eat picha pie
I know I'll stay alive
I want all my garlic beef,
pepperoni, double-cheese
o picha pie, o picha pie
penge
English translation
at first I was afraid to eat a picha pie
kept thinking this is not good
this is a picha pie
and so I spent so many nights
just eating my eggplant omelet
and I grew strong
because of my eggplant omelet
suddenly there's a box from outer space
I took and picked up
the box from outer space
I opened it and was shocked
there's a picha pie, super huge
I tasted it, within five seconds
I ate it all up like peanuts
now I'm like this
if you're not Picha Hut or Shakey's
you're not welcome anymore
now from my picha pie
I don't want to be apart
for you I'm ready to die
'coz now I love my picha pie
yeah, as long as I eat picha pie
I know I'll stay alive
I want all my garlic beef,
pepperoni, double-cheese
oh picha pie, oh picha pie
give me some
it took all the cash I had
I spent it all
I wanted more picha pie
but my money's not enough
and so I spent so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
it made me cry
don't I have any more picha pie?
now I was in a pinch
I'm no longer a stupid person
who doesn't think
picha pie is a little expensive
you can't expect it to be free
and so I'm saving all my money
so I can afford to buy
now I'm like this
if you're not Picha Hut or Shakey's
you're not welcome anymore
now from my picha pie
I don't want to be apart
for you I'm ready to die
'coz now I love my picha pie
yeah, as long as I eat picha pie
I know I'll stay alive
I want all my garlic beef,
pepperoni, double-cheese
oh picha pie, oh picha pie
give me some
This song is sung to the tune of I Will Survive.
There are people whose tongues just seem to be cut out
for pronouncing "pizza" (that's peet-sa) as "picha".
Those people include my mom. It makes me cringe everytime I hear it
but the thought of correcting my mother makes me cringe more.
I dunno if Parokya just wanted to poke fun at this phenomenon,
but they sure made things worse. Those people (including my mom)
seem to believe that "picha" really is the correct pronunciation.
It took me two days to type the translations due to the stupid feeling I kept getting.
Do not expect to make out any sense at all from this song. (-_-'''')
