lyrics

Crackers and Sardines

I am hungry tonight but I'm doing alright
Yes the money is tight but I'm keen
I was getting fat but forget about that
'cause soon I'll be sexy and lean
No I can't pay the rent so I live in a tent
I was given tentatively
Out here in the woods the living is good
and I'm loving my crackers and sardines

Crackers and sardines, crackers and sardines
Calcium, calories, protein
Crackers and sardines, crackers and sardines
Tomorrow is a whole new can of beans
Crackers and sardines, crackers and sardines
Them oily ol’ omega 3s
Crackers and sardines, crackers and sardines
Tomorrow is a whole new can of beans

I slide in at night by the guide of moonlight
No it's not much for sight but it's free
I have neighbours nearby but I never say hi
'cause I value my sweet privacy
I am new on the scene so I'm keepin' it clean
Layin' low if you know what I mean
Welcome to my estate, brush the leaves off your plate
and stay for some crackers and sardines

Crackers and sardines, crackers and sardines...
