Song Parodies -> Fry Me Some Liver
| Original Song Title: | "Cry Me a River" |
| Original Performer: | Ella Fitzgerald |
| Parody Song Title: | "Fry Me Some Liver" |
| Parody Written by: | John A. Barry |
Oh, I hear you groaning
Each time I ask you to
Get up and fry me some liver,
Fry me some liver,
And fry me up some kidney too.
You scold me,
Scold me when I ask for goat head
Or camel lips and pig ear,
Dismembered,
Dismembered when they're dead.
I say your tastes are plebian;
You say I eat threatened species.
For my tastes you reprove me,
Say I'd clean out the zoo.
"I'll fry no livers,
I'll fry no livers."
And then she gives me some tofu.
[Repeat last three verses]

For my tastes you reprove me,
Say I'd clean out the zoo.
"I'll fry no livers,
I'll fry no livers."

The legend lives on from the Cotton Club down of the lady, the scat-singing herald. John Barry, thank you for this song that you do, as you rap about Ella Fitzgerald.
Thanks, Michael. I saw Ella once, toward the end of her career. Still awesome.
