Ernest Hemingway came to me today

And told me I'd made the New York Post.

I offered him a piece of pork roast

But he said, 'I'd rather have some caviar on my toast.'

The world needs the Rat Pack

Who will do obeah to bring Sinatra back?

The Hit Men are in the room

And Walter's howling at the moon!

Right Wing and Left Wing -  talk about a bee sting!

People are all the same - talkin' 'bout George Carlin.

Fans request our song on the radio call-in

Haters just makes us laugh - 

We Might Be Giants 'cause they're certainly dwarfs!

Caviar on my toast! 

Caviar on my toast!

Sweetheart, this is not a comic roast -

You're the caviar on my toast!
