lyrics

Looking at a Salisbury steak
Straight out of the microwave
Dark brown gravy, soggy lake
Time to eat, I must be brave
It was something to observe
Then up close, my mother's voice
Gagging, stretching every nerve
Had to eat it, had no choice
I don't read nutrition information
I just had to keep up mastication
My gut going boom boom boom
"Son," she said "Clean your plate,
I've made it fresh at home."

To eat in silence I resigned
But I would dream of Pizza Hut
Pepto-Bismol my lifeline
Bathroom door would soon be shut
Chopped and formed from mystery meat
Mom's cuisine was in a rut
Often dreamed of things I'd eat
A nice selection of cold cuts
I would seek the school cafeteria
And hope the food would be superior
My gut going boom boom boom
"Here" they said "Salisbury steak,
Just like Mom makes at home."
(Back home.)

Indigestion spin her net
I really hate this sludgy paste
I'll hide it in my serviette
I won't eat this toxic waste
Sneak what snacks that I can get
I hold my breath but still can taste
No one taught me etiquette
I will find another place
Today I will eat in a restaurant
I'll sample all the bright flavors piquant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Mom" I said "You can keep the plate,
I don't have to eat at home."

Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff San Jose, California

Jeff and Maya have an identity crisis. Their music is sometimes uproariously funny parody (like their spot-on "Bohemian Rhapsody" parody "Midichlorian Rhapsody", or hauntingly beautiful, like "Road to Jerusalem" or "Manhattan Sleeps". One way or another, their music will create strong emotions. Jeff and Maya have been creating music together since 1979, and plan to continue for some time to come. ... more
