Carry Buddha

This is "Barracuda" by Heart as sung by a disgruntled Buddhist monk.

So, the master monk said
To that room instead
Feng shui
We have to move Buddha today
And son of a gun
But he's a heavy one
Got qualms, and sweaty palms
So though Buddha should enlighten me
I bet he's gonna squish my chi
And now he's ow, ow, ow, ow, on my toe you see
Now why don't you
Carry Buddha?
Oh-oh-oh
Hands on his knees
Keep moving please
Oh please
This may just herniate me
Oh no
My right, not yours
Through those big doors
Turn there
Then up the stairs
So though I took a vow I would not speak
This redecoration situation's bleak
And now my back, back, back, back, back is tweaked
Ow, carry Buddha
Oh, ow
Tell me, tell you
This thing is heavy
Bent brows broke vows
Spoken a few
I got a few for you too
Up one flight, and then the next
To the alcove that's the best
That Buddha's solid brass
Don't wanna bust my…. back
So though I took a vow I would not speak
This redecoration situation's bleak
And now my back, back, back, back, back is tweaked
Ow, carry, carry Buddha

Pastrami on a Parmesan Bun

This spins Sam Smith's "I'm Not the Only One" into an infatuation with the deli clerk and a greater infatuation for the sandwich she makes.

I'm in love, with the deli girl
But I can't say the words
So I just buy more sandwiches
And it's giving me the stinky burps
I'm eating there three times a day
Hoping it's your shift
Getting stamps on my sandwich card
When you're off I feel like I've been gypped
You take pastrami
And put it on a parmesan bun
And you made it so tasty
Now I want another one
How the weeks and the seasons turn
And that sandwich is our thing
I wish that I could speak some other words
Instead I'll have another pastrami
And you take pastrami
Put it on that parmesan bun
And you made it so tasty
Now I want another one
Change of hands at the Sandwich Land
Now saeurkraut makes me cry
Cuz you've gone to the Deli Grand
And I will not have my Reuben on rye
You gotta take pastrami
And put it on that parmesan bun
Cuz that makes it so tasty
Now I want another one
You take pastrami
And put it on a parmesan bun
But you made it so God darn tasty
Now I want another one
Now I want another one
Now I want another one
And I go
And I go
And I go
And I go
And I go
And I go, so
Now I want another one
