Unholy Green

A song about Chicago hot dogs and homage to Howard Ashman. To the melody of Somewhere That's Green. You can click on the video if you want to hear me singing it. (Not necessarily saying that will be better. But you know, it's up to you.)

A hot dog made of beef
A bun with sesame
With peppers and tomatoes
And diced onions I can see.
A pickle spear and relish
Like none I've ever seen
With a color you might name
Unholy green.

It's brighter than the hue
Of leaves on summer trees.
It's shinier than Kelly
And darker than split peas.
The taste is not like spinach
Nor sweet like nectarine
No other food is this
Unholy green.

The hot dog makes it juicy
The onions make it sweet.
The pickle makes you pucker
And the peppers bring the spicy heat.

So if you are around
Chicago, Illinois
You ought to try their hot dog,
A taste you might enjoy.
But when you see the relish
You'll wonder what machine
Could make a plant based food
Unholy green.
