The Lyrics
and it wasn't from a chicken
The loveliness of takeout
Disgusted me, I'll say
I barfed the carrots up
And threw the box away
I've been terribly depressed, and anxious and bedridden
I filed a lawsuit just the other day......
Chorus:
I found a finger in my salad
Of course, that was a year ago
And now I'm filing me a suit
That thing is quite a hoot
It's in my lawyer's freezer, yo
Now don't you know
That finger's there, among the ice cubes
It's keeping cold as cold can be
When I get into court with the finger
I hope the judge will rule for me
Disgusted me, I'll say
I barfed the carrots up
And threw the box away
I've been terribly depressed, and anxious and bedridden
I filed a lawsuit just the other day......
Chorus:
I found a finger in my salad
Of course, that was a year ago
And now I'm filing me a suit
That thing is quite a hoot
It's in my lawyer's freezer, yo
Now don't you know
That finger's there, among the ice cubes
It's keeping cold as cold can be
When I get into court with the finger
I hope the judge will rule for me

An eye-catching title followed up by a fun parody...I hope this isn't a true story, Royce! 5555
Kristof, it's a true story I read in the news; the person filing suit really has waited a year.
Here's three sets of 5 digits each.
5 thumbs up
Royce, I remember that story (or one just like it)...I wrote one around this time last year about a lady in Canton, Ohio who ended up with a kitchen employee's thumb in her salad...("You Ate My Thumb")...and then I did "Carelessly Chopping" as part of my Crosby, Stills, Nash "Thumb Album" parody project (which I plan to re-release later this summer after I change some of my parody lyrics to coincide with some revisions I have to them since). Anyway, I'm "givin' you five' on this one ~ ~ ~
Yuk! Parody good, finger food bad!
Ladyfingers...
I would not eat in a place where they gave me the finger...good one, here..
Puts a rather different complexion on "finger-lickin' good", doesn't it?
yeah, it would take me a full year to decide if it depressed me enough to render me bedridden or not - lucky for the lawyer, she decided it did - 555
