A Silly Farewell

So one of my husband's dearest friends also happens to be an incredibly talented musician and songwriter, and hilarious and witty to boot.  We had some friends over recently, and he was finally given the opportunity to share a little goodbye diddy that he wrote for my husband when he resigned.

A few things to note about my husband and I before reading (and singing aloud!) the following lyrics: we are from the east coast and grew up eating fresh (as in just caught from the ocean, cooked and put on our plate) seafood, and we grew up with Carolina barbecue (as in pulled pork and vinegar sandwiches).  Just two of what I'm sure are many MANY things he likes to pick on my hubby for. :)

Anyway, onto his song, sung loud and proud to the tune of Victory In Jesus:

I heard about a guy boast

About coming here from the east coast

How our cuisine did not compare

To the food he had back home

Our seafood ain't good enough

Cuz it comes from the oily gulf

Well sit down in that chair right there

And I tell you how it goes

Oh Bar-B-Q in Texas

Smoked brisket forever

Beef ribs, I got dibs

Now who's got a plate for me

No vinegar sauce on pulled pork

Just Texas beef on my fork

We know real Bar-B-Q

Comes from a beast that moos

Oh Texas, dear Texas

Y'all came here, now you're stuck here

Not to be rude, but you got...

The short end of the stick

You may love us or hate us

But nothing can separate us

Cuz Texas may not be your home

But you made some Texans of your own!

We have sure made some wonderful, sweet friends here in this great state of Texas, and truly enjoy living here, in spite of the barbecue! ;)
