CANDID CANNIBAL

The candid cannibal walked right up
And said that he would eat me
He said make no mistake
I’ll devour you completely

I should’ve been terrified i guess
But ultimately i was just so impressed with his honesty
So i said, bones and all?
He said, especially the bones
Cuz that’s where all the flavor is, don’t you know?
I said, how would i know?
I never ate a person
And he said, oh, brother, you don’t know what you’re missing

So I bet I taste good
When i get done cooking
I bet I taste better than chicken
I bet I taste good when i’m done

You know that i prefer the meats exotic
It’s a pity i won’t be around to taste the finished product
Sure you could cut me off a sample
And give it a nice dress
But my pallet would be tainted by both physical and emotional distress

Physical and emotional distress
