Scrapple Man

from Squirt, Rubber Heart by Al Duvall

lyrics

Now breakfast is my favorite time, from my pallet I will climb
I push my woman out the way and in the kitchen I will stay
I don't like biscuits, eggs and ham, orange juice or toast and jam
That’s not a waffle on my plate, it’s made of offal but I think it’s great

It’s like the gals in Quaker Town- the inside’s soft, the outside’s brown
I’m a scrapple man, I’m a scrapple man
All brains and ears and hearts and feet, they grind it up and make ends meat
Get the Crisco can, I’m a scrapple man
Just cut a slab off of the loaf- it’s a real square meal
And fry it in the frying pan until you hear it squeal
Then flip that scrapple- like a dime, it’s heads or tails every time
I’m a scrapple man, I’m a scrapple man


The landlord’s put me on a diet- my belly’s getting smaller
And I’m in debt way up to here- if only I was taller
But scrapple's always got me by, though no one knows what’s in it
I've figured out the recipe- I’ll tell you right this minute:
You must be brave to eat it, so I know it's got some cheek
And I know they throw the eyes in, cause it sees me through the week
There’s snout because it smells so good and it makes me snore at work
And the part that’s farthest from the trough is why I’m such a jerk

I don’t need a fork, I grab it up and dunk it in my coffee cup
I’m a scrapple man, I’m a scrapple man
Oh bacon, sausage, they’re OK as long as someone else can pay
But I’m a scrapple man, I’m a scrapple man
I save a slice each morning and I add it to the stack
And when I’ve built my scrapple house I’m never moving back
Oh, ash to ashes, dust to dust, they’ll lay me flat beneath the crust
I’m a scrapple man, I’m a scrapple man
