Something I Ate I was angry at Mom so I rolled her up and stuffed her in a paper cup. I washed her down with Gatoraid. I thought now I've got it made! But Dad was mad about what I'd done. He said I was a thankless son. So I put him through the Cuisinart and drank him up. Now ain't I smart? When Sis found out she began to pout so I chopped her into sauerkraut and had her on a hotdog bun. Now I was having loads of fun. Policeman knocking at the door. I said, "I ain't got no mom no more." He said, "Where is she?" I said, "I'll take you there." So I ate him and his underwear. Judge said I was found guilty of swallowing my family. He banged his gavel; I opened wide. Now he bangs that gavel inside my hide. My tummy's feeling pretty tight. I couldn't take another bite. In fact I might regurgitate. Maybe it was something I ate! © 1992 by Monty Harper.

About This Song This song is available on the Jungle Junk! CD. This song has brought criticism from some adults for being too violent. Monty says: "This was very early on. I haven't written anything similar since. I have plenty of better, kinder ideas. But kids love this song. It's like cartoon violence. You know it's impossible, but it expresses what you wish you could do sometimes - just to have some kind of power over the people who oppress you." More Monty Harper Songs
