Yea, when I was a little kid see I never liked to eat
                                        G                 
And Mama put things on my plate and Id dump em on her feet
    F               
But then one day she made this soup I ate it all in bed
                                     G                F
I asked her what she put in it, well this is what she said

   F          
Oh chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
                                     G        
Yea monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salimander thighs
      F             
Well, rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies
                               G           F
Stir em all together and it´s Mama´s Soup Surprise

         F           
Well now I went in the bathroom and I stood beside the sink
                                         G                 
I said I´m feeling slightly i´ll and I´d think I´d like a drink
F               
Mama said I have just the thing, I´ll get it in a wink
     
It´s full of lots of protein and vitamins, I think

       F              
It was chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes
                                     G       
Yea monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salimander thighs
F              
Rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies
                               G           F
