lyrics

SOUP KITCHEN LADY

You're the reason I get through my day
You're the reason I get through my week
You're the reason I have a reason
You're my reason to live

Soup kitchen lady, how can I thank thee
Your soup’s delicious and nutritious
I wanna give you hugs and kisses
But you're really old

Soup kitchen lady, you drive me crazy
You make those vegetables so tasty
You amaze me, you're a lady and I'm a man
Together we can drive around in your van
Soup kitchen lady, I do

Somebody cut into the line, you didn't take that
So you yelled in your eastern European accent
We don't know what you say
But we know what you mean

Somebody didn't use the tongs to get their bread
So you hit them with the tongs on the head
I think that's fair
Hygiene is very important

The soup kitchen lady and me
We're gonna have such a healthy family
Just wait and see

So if you see me in the city
On a Canberra Friday evening please come with me to see
The soup kitchen lady
Cos all the junkies and the homeless workaholic public servants
All stand inline, all equal in her eyes
And I wish I knew the name of my true love
But I don't need to know her name for her to fill my cup
Cos she’s the soup kitchen lady
