Liverrr! It’s a thing you can’t explain
For some it’s nearly ecstasy, for others it’s pure pain
Liverrr! It’s featured at some fine buffets
My brother loves his liver, but me, it makes me shiver
We love every kind of food but when it comes to liver, we go separate ways
Liver it’s the chosen food of potentates and kings
But simple folk enjoy it too, sometimes with onion rings
Liverrr – with a texture you can savor
A superfood, improves your mood, your energy will be renewed, but best of all you’re gonna grow to love that lively lovely liver flavor
I could never stomach liver, Dad thought I was being picky
But I’d eat anything, there’s only one thing that’s so icky
Okay, so it’s amazing, it’s nature’s largest gland
It’s the flavor that repulses, I cough, my throat convulses, keep it far away, away, away, for liver is the food that I Can’t Stand
Liver, liver, sound the bells, beat the liver drums!
Mama’s cooking liver on the mountain, here it comes!
Liver – Everybody’s got one inside
Liver – I don’t want my liver deep fried!
Liver was detested by the great George Bernard Shaw
And yet when he fell ill he took injections of foie gras
Liverrr! It’s enshrined in France’s law
In America we’re free to like foie gras or leave it be
But will our kids be forced to eat that liver by their mas and pas?
Liver, liver, sound the bells, beat the liver drums!
Mama’s cooking liver on the mountain, here it comes!
So if you’re stuck upriver, with no paddle and no food
If the natives offer liver, smile big and eat a sliver
For for even if you are a liver hater, you don’t want to be rude. Don’t be rude.
