Dueling For Donuts
Single 4:20Song Description:
A chamber music lark, with a historically hysterical twist on a famous duel.

Lyrics:
Mouth-watering gelato, and chocolate that’s dark
entice me much more than a walk in New York’s Central Park.
When thoughts do come of rich desserts that widen many hips
a little spittle starts to form at corners of my lips.
Imagine, if you will, misunderstandings quite half-baked,
not over things like power….a thirst that’s never slaked.
But, WHOA, the lust for calories and saturated fat,
thought to be a death wish by some anorexics that
have hatred, too, for sugar, and thus anything that’s sweet.
But what about the other side; don’t tell me what to eat!!!
I scream “EN GARDE!”, and sluggishly go reaching for my saber.
I now confront a skinny vegan, though he is my neighbor.
We’ve had a disagreement once about ingesting meat.
He knows I think he’s PETA’s stooge, and yet he won’t retreat!
My loathing for such yucky foods as kale and (Gag!) tofu
Ignite my ire when these I’m served, and inwardly I stew.
I must defend my dietary choices every day.
I’m quite like Aaron Burr, who dreamed he had a better way.
Take that, you salad Hamilton! You think you own the truth!
Don’t force your thinking on me now; give back my Baby Ruth!!!
I know you’re just as weak as me, you scrawny little putz!
That whitish powder on your lips…let’s duel for those donuts!!!!
En Garde! I say, pick up your sword! Let’s duel for those donuts!!!
