The Emperor Crumb

 The Emperor Crumb arrived

All so flakey

With his several wives

And a shot in the dark

Brought the jam to his eyes

He was up to his ears in honey

But money reigned from the skies


The emperor, the emperor he has come

Roll out the red carpets

And beat on the drum

No more starvation

No more long sighs

For he has brought bread and milk

and nobody dies


Crumb, crumb, the Emperor crumb

Has come on the backs of the monks and the nuns

He's chewed his banana and sucked on his thumb

Oh how shall I tell you of the Emperor Crumb?


The mud fills his boots, and the day looks like done

But who's that in the distance like a big currant bun

Rolling as a steamboat and red as a tongue

Flown like a seagull across vast oceans come

All hail the arrival of the Great Emperor Crumb

Endurance

 Chocolate ship, chocolate chip

Kurtos Kalacs

In a jam in the icing

Of the antarctic roll

The chimmey stacks

fire cake, ice cake

We burnt our fingers on the ice

Holding together frozen 


ice table, ice plate

Sit down to a frozen meal

Well it was ready when I cooked it says mother

You arrived late


Where are all the women in the antarctic

Sabortooth tigers, where they there?

What did the antarctic look like when you were born?

Disturb the Penguins

But it was much a do about nothing

only another Penguin with an instagram account

Trying to advertize their fishing business


Being a king and staying a king penguin

Being a king and becoming a queen penguin

Easy on the brown sauce

 Easy on the brown sauce,

Honey

Easy on the brown sauce, baby

Easy on the brown sauce mama

Easy on the brown sauce

Easy on the the brown sauce papa


Get it up on the ketch up

mama

Get it up on the table

Give me some of your vinegar honey

Put it out let me see the label

Easy on the brown sauce, daddy

Easy on the brown sauce

Oh another dollop of mayonaise baby

But easy on the brown sauce


Come on with your mustard honey

Put it on my plate again and again

Put it on the side, I'll have it with my pickle

Put it on the side of my plate


Easy on the brown sauce

Easy, easy, easy

I like my sauce easy

Easy on the brown sauce, daddy

Easy on the brown sauce


Put it on my sausage, nanny

Put it on my beans

Put on a burger, daddy

Or put it on my greens


You can mix your cheese with beans

You can mix lime and lemons even

Follow my recipe, then season

But go easy on the brown sauce
