Le Ballad de Salad
By Talisker
28 April 2007
There’s this ruddy faced chap

called Tom Ato,

lettuce, say he’s a bit

of salad

Though he’s short and rotund,

quite the fatto

you’d be staggered

the dishes he’s had!

 

Sing together!

Vinaigrette rien!

Non! Vinaigrette rien!

 

Tom escorts his ardent admirers,

to the zoo down at Richmond

On Thames,

but he had a “to do”,

got encumbered in Kew,

ended up in a Poulet

Bonne Femme, ha, ha, ha! (doesn’t rhyme, give a damn?)

 

Sing together!

Vinaigrette rien!

Non! Vinaigrette rien!

 

Balsamic maybe,

Extra virgin, hee, hee!

“Slap it on” says Tom Ato

I like it like that, oh!

“Slap it on! slap it on! slap it on!”

 

Sing one more time!

Vinaigrette rien!

Non, vinaigrette rien!

Good fun piece. You need Liza Minelli (sp?), Caberet style for this.
