I'm the sole survivor
Of the wreck
that sank straight out from under my feet
Stranded on a rock
In the South Pacific
Not a bloody bite to eat
I'm living off seagulls
Living off crabs
But they just aren't enough
I look down at my feet
That I really don't need
Times are gettin' really tough
'cause I'm
SO HUNGRY
I ate them both
Thinkin' "Cold roast beef"
with my legs I did the same
you are what you eat
so I haven't changed a bit
But I know that I'm going insane
'Cause I'm
SO HUNGRY
Sixty days and still no boat
Nothing left below the waist
I know I should leave
My hands for last
But I can't resist a taste
'Cause I'm
SO HUNGRY
(Lady fingers
they taste
just like
Lady fingers...)

kings depiction of the surgeon who eats himself piece by piece has always been one of my favorites. this is delightful.
