THE VEGAN SONG words & music by Lenny Solomon

© 2002 L.Solomon

Grew up in the Smokies, where if you had some style

You’d creep on through the gullies, in search of something wild

To catch a fleeting glimpse of, to track and then to shoot

Some four-legged creature that was too cute to scoot

Well, back several years ago, my trigger finger itchin’

I held up my shotgun but my heart began a’twitchin’

They rushed me to the hospital, ran tests then I was told

No more eating red meat, too high in cholesterol

Now I’m a killer vegan, that’s just what I do

Hunting round the countryside for my vegan stew

It’s potato season, on this you can rely

When one moves I’ll shoot it, right between the eyes

The summer now is over, the days are getting short

Dark and darker spirits fill me with these thoughts

Of what I’ll get a bead on, plug it dead to rights

No bean or green tomato is safe within my sights

I’m a killer vegan, that’s just what I do

Hunting round the countryside for my vegan stew

It’s potato season, on this you can rely

When one moves I’ll shoot it, right between the eyes

I just had some carrot juice and some twelve grain bread

With a tofu burger and now I’m set for bed

Soon I’ll be a’dreamin’, about my mountain thrill

Of hunting in the bushes, for a vegetable to kill

I’m a killer vegan, that’s just what I do

Hunting round the countryside for my vegan stew

It’s potato season, on this you can rely

When one moves I’ll shoot it, right between the eyes
