Hello,
With apologies to Laura Mincy for stealing her idea, I am no poet.
I can, however, steal lyrics.
Below is an announcement for the "Beat Hunger 03" concert which takes
place one week from tonight. Sing the lines to the tune of Roy
Orbison's "Pretty Woman", unless you prefer to recall instead the
whitewashed, soul-less Van Halen version:
"Feeding People"
(verse 1)
Feeding people-All it takes is you,
Feeding people-It's what we're going to do
Feeding people...
You get so hungry, out on the street,
And it's that hunger we'll defeat.
("whump-a whump-a whump-a")
(verse 2)
Feeding people-gather all your crumbs
Feeding people-to the sound of drums
Feeding peopleŠ
They'll play it clean and they'll play it right
They sound like thunder in the night
(BRIDGE)
Hungry people cannot stand,
Think or work or use their hands
Bring your boxes, bags and cans to meeeeeŠ
Hungry ones in this old town
With no warm place to lie down
Searching hard for one more ca---lorieeeeeŠ
(TRANSITION)
'Cause they need you, come to the Hayes
How many dinners can we all raaa-aa-ise!!!
("whump - whump-a whump-a")
FEEDING PEOPLE!!!
