MONTEREY JACK 1:12 -Shel Silverstein-
90mph romp (too fast to figure out)
but I will include the lyrics
First Verse
Monterey Jack woke up in his shack on a Monday
Monterey Jack had a little bitty snack of some elderberry wine
Monterey Jack walked down the track, all the way to ol' Harley's shack
Stuck his knife in ol' Harley's back
And they say that's the way ol' Harley Davison died
1...2...3...4...
Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off in a doorway
Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off with little Sarah Lee
Ol' Jack Hoff was gettin' off when he mumbled and stumbled and started to cough
And his vein went hard and he went soft
And they say that's the way how ol' Jack Hoff O.G.'d
Spoken:
You mean O.D.
No.... O.G.
Oh man what's that?
That's when you O.D and you say Oh Gee!
1...2...3...4...
Tom McCann was sittin' in the sand by the ocean
Tom McCann looked into his hand and found a jelly-roll
Tom McCann was feelin' grand, all the girls were lickin' his hand
He's a heel but man, oh man, everybody knows that Tom McCann's got soul
Spoken:
Its over
No it ain't
No it ain't either, here it is again
That's really the end

tonight"
Chorus

It had been in the family for a whole lotta years, so we knew it was a
G C
nourishing thing

And I remember mama, as she stirred it in the water, and we could all hear
D G
her sing
G C F C G
"Its a magical stone and as long as we got it, we'll never have a hungry
C
night
C F C D
Just add a little love to the wonderful soupstone and everything will be

alright"
Chorus

same

And ever since then the food's been plenty, but every now and then I find
C F C D G
That mama in the kitchen with the wonderful soupstone, drifts across my mind
Outro

But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes
C G C
And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone
C F C
And again I can taste the chicken and tomatoes
C F C
And the noodles and the marrowbone
C F C
But it really wasn't nothing but some water and potatoes

And the wonderful, wonderful soupstone
(do the intro riff last time)
