THE TUNA CHOICE WALTZ

A young fisherman name o' Ahab
would bring his catch home from the sea
and before he'd take it to market
his young wife would run down with glee.

He'd lay all the fish in the horse cart
He'd tell her to choose the best one
And by the light of the moon, ah,
she'd choose the tuna
Then they'd dance THE TUNA CHOICE WALTZ.

With Ahab's peg leg in a knot hole
in the floor of their cottage close by
they'd spin around in a circle
while the fish in the cart would draw flies.

Chorus:
Around and around and around and around
And around and around with no halts
Around and around and around and around
They'd dance THE TUNA CHOICE WALTZ.

He'd lay all the fishies in circles
As the fisherwife turned somersaults
And by the light of the moon, ah,
She'd choose the tuna
Then they'd dance THE TUNA CHOICE WALTZ.

Instro
Chorus

She'd pass by the eels and the cod fish
when the new moon might well mask their faults
And with a lamp from his schooner
She'd pick a tuna
Then they'd dance THE TUNA CHOICE WALTZ.

Chorus

When Ahab returned from the market
With pasta and beer made with malts
She'd whip up a casserole dinner:
Tuna Choice, then they'd stand up and waltz.

Chorus

Young Ahab was also a fiddler.
He fiddled with Gusto and Schmaltz
The Trio booked church pot luck suppers
where they'd play THE TUNA CHOICE WALTZ.

Righteous fishwives baked their pot lucks
with no trace of spices or salts
So when Ahab's wife raised hers in Tupper
They all danced THE TUNA CHOICE WALTZ.

Chorus

Frank Zappa
This Town Is A Sealed Tuna Sandwich

This town
This town
Is a Sealed Tuna Sandwich
Sealed Tuna Sandwich
With the wrapper glued
It's by baloney on the rack
It goes for 40 cents a whack
It's just a place for us to play
To help us pay
The cost of the tickets back to L.A.
The cost of the tickets back to L.A.
The cost of the tickets back to L.A.

All the people in the Sandwich Town
Think the place is great
What if part of it's crumbling down?
Most of them prob'ly won't be 'round . . .

They'll either be dead
Or moved to San Francisco
(Where everybody thinks they're Heavy Business . . .
But it's just a Tuna Sandwich from another catering service . . .)

~ Our Tuna Songs ~

Oh, Sweet Hilly! (Oh Suzanna)
I come from UVM with a tuna on my knee,
I'm going to Alpine Drive, my sweet Hilly for to see.

Oh, sweet Hilly! Oh don't you meow for me,
for I come from UVM with a tuna on my knee.

It rained all night the day I left, the snow I had to plow.
The sun so hot I froze to death, sweet Hilly don't you meow.

Oh, sweet Hilly! Oh don't you meow for me,
for I come from UVM with a tuna on my knee.

A Spoonful of Tuna (a spoonful of sugar)
Just a spoonful of tuna helps the medicine go down,
the medicine go down, the medicine go down,
just a spoonful of tuna helps the medicine go down,
in the most delightful way!

My Tuna (My Bonnie)
My tuna swims under the ocean, my tuna swims under the sea,

Silent Tuna (Silent Night)
Silent tuna, holy tuna
tuna is calm, tuna is bright.
Round young tuna, gentle and wild,
Holy tuna so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly tuna, sleep in heavenly tuna.

Hilly Had a Little Tuna (Mary Had a Little Lamb) Hilly had a little tuna, little tuna, little tuna,
Hilly had a little tuna, its scales were white as snow.
Everywhere that Hilly went, Hilly went, Hilly went,
everywhere that Hilly went her tuna was sure to go.

I've Been Working on my Tuna (I've Been Working on the Railroad)
I've been working on my tuna, all the live long day!
I've been working on my tuna, just to pass the time away!
Can't you hear my tummy growling, I rise up so early in the morn', ah -
Don't you hear my tummy saying, Hilly go eat your tuna!
Hilly won't you eat, Hilly won't you eat, Hilly won't you eat your tuna!
Hilly won't you eat, Hilly won't you eat, Hilly won't you eat your tuna!
Someone's in the kitchen with Tuna, someone's in the kitchen I see!
Someone's in the kitchen with Tuna! They better share it with me!
and we'll sing
Tu tu tuna, tu tu tu tu na aa aa aa, u tu tu na! munching on the ol' tuna.

Tunas (Tiggers)

But the most wonderful thing about tunas is I'll eat every one!

You are my tuna, my only tuna.
You keep me happy, when I'm hungry..
You'll always know dear, how much I love you.

The Tu Na cessities (The Bear Necessities, from the Jungle Book)
Look for the tu na cessities
The simple tu na cessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the tu na cessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the tu na cessities of life
Whenever I wander, I can't get home soona
I couldn't be fonder of my big tuna
the fridge is hummin' I can see
chilling the tuna faithfully
When you look under the door and smell
the tuna, it sure is swell!
Then maybe try a few..
The tu na cessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!
Look for the tu na cessities
The simple tu na cessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the tu na cessities
That's why a cat can rest at ease
With just the tu na cessities of life!
Trust In Tuna (Trust In Me, from the Jungle Book)
Trust in tuna, just in tuna
Shut your eyes and trust in tuna

Knowing tuna is around
Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver fish
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist
Trust in tuna, just in tuna
Shut your eyes and trust in tuna...

Joy To The World
Joy to the world! The tuna has come:
Let earth receive her fish!
Let ev'ry heart prepare it room,
The tu-na will be here so soon,
And heaven and nature wish,
And heaven and nature wish,
And cats and heaven and nature wish.
Joy to the world, the tuna reigns!
Let cats their meows employ!
While tabbies and siamese,
and toms and manx and persians
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!
Tuna rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of its righteousness
Its scrumptiousness and tastiness
And wonders of its love,
And wonders of its love,
And wonders, wonders of its love.

Canned Tunafish (from the Bon Jovi song bad medicine..)

Your love is like... Canned Tunafish!
Canned Tunafish is what I need..
eat it up, just like canned tunafish
It's so yummy, from my head to my knees..
Imagine (John Lennon)

Imagine there's no cat food
It's easy if you try
nothing but fish below us
only tuna from the sky
Imagine all the kitties
Living for today...
Imagine there's no Iams
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to meow or beg for
And no Meow Mix too
Imagine all the kitties
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only cat
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be like that
Imagine no dry cat food
I hope that you are tryin'
No need for greed or hunger
A sisterhood of feline
Imagine all the kitties
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only cat
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live like that
