Hey Stranger! (The Ballad of the Backwoods Gourmet)

from Yggdrasil by End of Arden

/

lyrics

Hey, Stranger, how've you been?
Hey Stranger, why don't you come on in!
It's awfully dark and cold outside,
Why don't you sit by my fireside?

Hey, Stranger, rest a while,
I'm sure you've travelled many miles;
The only neighbourly thing to do
Is invite you in for a bit of stew.

Hey, Stranger, can you stir the pot?
Be careful, it's awfully hot!
Lean on over and take a look,
The recipe's mine, I love to cook!

Hey, Stranger, can you stand the heat?
The beets make it sweet, but it needs some meat!
It's starting to look like a pretty good stew;
There's just one thing I need from you!

Hey Stranger, please don't go!
I meant no harm; I swear it's so!
I wish you didn't have to dash--
You'd have been so good in my paprikash!
