  I Love Corned Beef

  
  

  I love corned beef - I never knew

  How good the stuff could taste in stew!

  I love it wet, I love it dry.

  I love it baked and called meat pie

  I love it camouflaged in hash

  A hundred bucks I'd give in cash

  To have a barrel of such chow

  A standing here before me now

  I say "Yum Yum" when "soupie" blows

  I sniff & raise aloft my nose

  Corned Willie! Ha! Oh boy that's fine

  Can hardly keep my place in line

  I kick my heels & wildly yell:

  "Old Sherman said that "War is Hell," 

  But gladly would I bear the heat

  If corned beef I could get to eat.

  I love it hot, I love it cold

  Corned Willie never will grow old

  I love it - now pause - listen friend

  When to this war there comes an end

  And peace upon the earth shall reign

  I'll hop a boat for home again

  Then to a restaurant I'll speed
