FLAGPOLE EATTA 
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple, Wang 
(apologies to Harvey Danger) 
 
Pepperoni or anchovy 
Can't-a decide what I want to eat on-a my pizza  
I just-a don't know what I want to eats-a 
And momma's always serving me more  
 
Mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmagiana, with-a da spicy meatball  
And momma makes me eat all 
The pasta and the salad and the meat  
It makes me sick how I eat 
 
[background vocals: "ma- mama mia"] 
I ate it and I'm not well 
That wasn't cheese, and I can tell 
 
Bad Italian restaurant where only stupid people are eating  
The cretins chewing and feeding 
What I don't even eat when it's free 
 
 
Cannelloni, rigatoni, macaroni, with-a da fettuccini  
But hold the tortellini 
You forgot my bread, now I want linguine god damn you 
 
I ate it and I'm not well 
That wasn't cheese, and I can tell 
It's lunch time on HFS 
And it's a sin  to eat this mess 
 
I want to eat Kung Pao  
And rage with Chairman Mao 
I want to eat dim sum  it's better than spaghetti 'cause  
They give you oyster sauce  and when your hunger gnaws  
Chicken claws,  chicken claws 
 
Salmonella, salmonella, botchulism's coming to get me  
It's in the chicken with snow peas 
I'm running like a river of brown  hoisin sauce 
 
Pu Pu platter, sweet and sour, combination mushi, and cookie  
Let's open and and take a looky 
It says "Confucius always listen to HFS"  
 
[background vocals: "wa- wasabi- wa"] 
It's Szechuan  but it's not fried 
No cats were used  no one has died 
It's Hunan  but it's salt-free 
No doggy meat,  no MSG

BURRITOS 
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple, Wang  
(apologies to The Refreshments) 
 
Just how much food do you want to go?  
Seven enchiladas and a burrito  
And you can cook me something refried and top it with super nachos 
  
Olé! 
 
Take that first hot bite  feel your mouth ignite  
Think it tastes hot now but just wait till tonight  
When your sphincter is screaming "murder"  
But you're gonna eat it anyway  
 
Everybody knows that burritos give you diarrhea  
So meet me at the bathroom at midnight, we'll dump it out there  
Everybody knows if it's chili tonight it will be hot tamale  
My only salvation is I've got the station  on HFS   
 
Spend the break of dawn on the Porta-John  
Squeeze the parasites out til your intestines are gone  
It's an unsightly defecation and vomit  
But you had to eat it anyway

MICROWAVE 
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple, Wang  
(apologies to Greenday) 
 
Do you have the time to chop and grate and grind  
To cook and boil, bake, and fry all at once?  
I am one of those  technological fools  
Electric is the way I go about it   
 
Sometimes I give myself a treat  
Sometimes I just can't wait to eat  
I grab my Healthy Choice, press go, and rejoice  
Am I cuisine-impaired or am I stoked?   
 
I feel good all day  with my Budget Gourmet  
Lean Pockets make me get almost orgasmic  
Swansons' food is keen  and I love Lean Cuisine   
While Stouffers French bread pizza tastes fantastic

VANILLA 
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple 
(apologies to Blue Oyster Cult) 
 
With a purposeful grimmace and a terrible sound 
He throws the carton of ice cream to the ground 
 
Helpless people in fast food chains 
Scream "my god it's chocolate shakes again" 
 
He picks up some candy and he throws it back down 
As wades through the aisles where the cookies are all brown  
 
Oh no, this chocolate has to go  there's no vanilla  oooo 
Oh no,  just mint-filled Oreos  there's no vanilla 
 
VAnilla  vanilla  vaNILLA  etc. 
 
History shows again and again vanilla's the favorite flavor of men, vanilla! 
History shows again and again vanilla's the favorite flavor of men, vanilla! 
History shows again and again vanilla's the favorite flavor of men, vanilla!

FOODSTUFFS 
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple, Wang 
(apologies to The B-52s) 
 
Hey America, how about giving me some of those foodstuffs? 
Well here it is     here it is     here it is 
 
Are you begging for it?    Are you pleading for it 
You'll get it for free      foodstuffs baby 
Do you need it?  Are you dying for it? 
Those foodstuffs baby     good foodstuffs 
 
I've got some surplus cheese that's been retired 
And some cans of Spam that just expired 
So let my foodstuffs rain down on you 
My free foodstuffs that you desire  
 
My withered crops and malnutrition 
Have got me wishin' for a relief mission 
Send your surplus   in any condition 
You would eat anything in my position 
 
Are you starving?   I'm starving! 
Are you famished?   I'm famished! 
Are you hungry for this?   I guess so  
OK, let's go! 
  
Take me down where the cargo unloads 
Toss some rice, throw me a bone 
Take me down where the foodstuffs are doled 
Toss some rice, throw me a bone. 
 
Foodstuffs, give me some of them foodstuffs 
Foodstuffs, give me some of them foodstuffs 
 
Don't leave me starvin'   I wanna be carvin' 
Wanna be carvin' up your good foodstuffs 
 
Hey babies, are you hungry yeah 
Refugees, you've got to eat it yeah

SLIM 
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple, Wang, Holland 
(apologies to Dada) 
 
If you had a pickle on your plate 
She would eat it on her way out the door  
Not care if its kosher or Vlasic light 
She would chow down everything that she came by 
 
Oh because my wife went slim 
She's anorexic and won't eat till she's thin  
Because my wife went slim 
 
I saving half a plate of greens 
Don't you know I'm saving half my plate for you 
I still hope you're saving room  for roast side of beef  roast side of beef 
I guess it came down to  don't you love meat  don't you love meat? 
 
Oh because my wife went slim 
She's anorexic and won't eat till she's thin  
Because my wife went slim 
 
Can't Kathryn grow any fatter? 
Can't Neci grow any fatter?  
Can't Gina grow any fatter?     [fatter  fatter] 
Can't these babes grow, cause I can see the ribs on them

FOUND OUT ABOUT FOOD  
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple, Wang 
(apologies to Gin Blossoms) 
 
Mrs. Butterworth wasn't so sweet at all 
Mamma Celeste was frozen cold and Mrs. Paul 
Treated me like some dead fish 
Sara Lee was not so rich  
Peppermint Patty was nice but just too small  
 
But Little Debbie's so sweet   
I'm eating her 
Tasty pink lunch treats 
Found out about food  
 
Kathryn Lauren's so sweet 
I'm eating her 
HFS lunch treats 
Found out about food

POISONED BY MOM 
lyrics (C) 1998 Wang, Whipple 
(apologies to Rancid) 
 
If your momma made the soup then you'd better come in  
It's her inability to season that makes you thin  
Lunchin' and dinin' on the soup that tastes like gruel 
 
The secret to a good lunch is knowing when you're full 
 
Black cheese  white ooze  bad milk  Similac (yeah)  
Poisoned by Mom 
 
It's black on the stove  where she's smelting sushi in a vat  
The knob goes to ten but she's stokin' hotter than that  
Sitting on the counter where the parasites (can) spawn 
First thing you learn you gotta bake it till the worms are gone 
 
Black cheese  white ooze  bad milk  Similac (yeah)  
Poisoned by Mom 
 
Now she's rinsing cheese  she's grating meat  basting bread  got a spork  
Got a Ginsu julienning tenderloin of pork 
The Spam is sweetened   oven preheatin' 
Whatever she half-bakes in there you know that you'll be eating it 
 
Black cheese  white ooze  bad milk  Similac (yeah)  
Poisoned by Mom

GOPHER GUTS  
traditional, this arrangement (P) 1998 Whipple, Holland 
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple/Wang 
 
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts 
Multilated monkey meat, itsy bitsy birdie feet 
French fried eye-balls, rolling down a muddy street, 
And I forgot my spoon. 
 
Great green gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts,  
Mutilated monkey meat, chopped up baby parakeet 
All wrapped up in  all-purpose porpoise pus 
And I forgot my spoon   (but I got my straw) 
 
It's lunchtime on WHFS 
Stick a fork in all the rest 
Kathryn Lauren is the best 
It's lunchtime on WHFS 
And finger lickin' good

MacSANDWICH  
lyrics (C) 1998 Wang, Whipple 
(apologies to Foo Fighters) 
 
What have we done with all the bread?  
It disappeared last night, along with all the spread  
I'll go eat fast food instead  
of wasting another night on planning to get fed  
Wonder bread, Wonder bread, Wonder bread  
 
Don't want to eat your MacSandwich  
I see the roaches in your fridge  
Five hundred grams of fat, enriched  
I'll never eat your MacSandwich  
 
All these fries make such a stench 
What do you do when all your recipes are French? 
I asked for cheese, not insolence  
Under pressure, wind up slapping the MacWench  
Surly wench, surly wench, surly wench 
Don't want to eat your MacSandwich  
Served by an impudent MacBitch  
Who's relegated to third shift  
I'll never eat your MacSandwich  
Hunger, hunger, hunger 
One last thing before I eat  don't make my burger with rat meat 
No special sauce no lettuce cheese no fingernails from employees 
No fries with that no extra fat don't supersize my MacDead Rat 
Your bathrooms are a filthy mess and your sound system pipes in HFS 
Don't want to eat your MacSandwich 
Find little hairs in every niche    
I'm gonna sue you and get rich    
I'll never eat your MacSandwich 
Don't want to eat your MacSandwich   [counterpoint: eat in, eat out] 
Don't want to eat your MacSandwich   [counterpoint: eat in, eat out] 
Don't want to eat your MacSandwich   [counterpoint: eat in, eat out] 
Don't want to eat your MacSandwich

SMELLS LIKE FISH  
lyrics (C) 1998 Whipple 
(apologies to Nirvana) 
Load up on veal, use your tongue 
It's fun to cook and eat the young 
Their tender meat and tasty skin 
Hot juices dribble down my chin 
 
Jello jello jello jello 
 
When you lick it, it turns gooey 
When you eat it, it gets chewy 
When al dente, you should steam it 
When it's frothy, you should cream it 
 
A zucchini, a banana, a salami, a burrito 
A cucumber, a kielbasa, a kielbasa, a kielbasa, a kielbasa...

SMELLS LIKE YEAST  
lyrics (C) 1998 Wang, Whipple 
(apologies to Nirvana) 
Load up on buns, bring some yeast 
It's fun to chose your bakery feast 
It's overcooked and understood 
I know I love those bakery goods 
 
Smell those, smell those, smell those donuts 
 
Smell those, smell those, smell those donuts 
 
When the lights out at the bakery 
They've got cheesecake, an they'll make me 
Fresh hot muffins or a pastry 
Here we are now at the bakery 
 
A Milano, a fresh matzoh, a pecan roll, or a sub roll 
A donut hole, a donut hole, a donut hole, a donut hole...

SHE WON'T SWALLOW 
lyrics (C) 1998 Laird, Whipple 
(apologies to the Foo Fighters) 
I thought she knew how to nibble lick and chew 
How to slurp up all the goo from my Spam 
How could I know, she did not like sloppy joe 
Or kielbasa cooked to go with her clam? 
I gave her all the meat I could 
Guess my salami's just no good 
She won't swallow anything 
She won't swallow anything 
It's time for lunch, it's time for lunch 
Grab some buns, I've got meat 
It's time for lunch, it's time for lunch

I'll PICK AROUND 
lyrics (C) 1998 Wang 
(apologies to the Foo Fighters) 
I thought you knew, didn't look at the menu 
 
I left the order up to you, as you pleased 
How could I eat pizza with pepperonis 
Your absurd anchovies 
I still refuse all those toppings that you choose 
Sausage might be right for you, get me cheese 
I'll eat around all those olives you chow down 
They were green but now they're brown chunks of grease 
I've eaten all that I'll digest 
Just need a slice and HFS 
Pies don't go with everything! 
Pies don't go with everything! 
Pies don't go with everything! 
Pies don't go with everything!
