Song: Eat all around Lit

So I wrote this song parody about a month ago, submitted to both newsrevue and the treason show.   Didn't make it on either show.   It's not a massively funny song but I kinda liked it.   It was based on the idea by Eric Pickles to put coffee shops in libraries like they do with book stores.

The original song was by Emile Sande and the tune is to Read All about It Part III.

Anyways, as I said, I can't sing so can't record it but hope someone likes it :))

Eat all around Lit


You've got the words to change a nation
but you're biting no bun
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
when you could hear a till be rung
if no-one's ever here there'll be no librarian
so costa, costa,
costa, costa

You've got a tum as big as pickles
so why let your hunger be tamed
Baby, we're a little thirsty
let your bladder be enflamed
you've got a flat white in the shadows
so stop hiding biscotti
costa, costa

I want icing, I want it now
I want ice-cream till the cows dry out
so put it in all of the libraries
I get hungry <pronounced hungray>
they can eat all around lit
eat all around lit oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh

And now we're munching up some super fudge
While we read some Judy Blume
Drinking some more espresso, yeah
And listening to this tune
This municipal building is now living
And not another urban ruin
so costa, costa
costa,  costa

Lets get the librarian or the barista
To bring our drinks again
it's about time we got more caffeine, as you are just my friend
I've got fifty shades of grey,
theres no need to go to bed
Costa, Costa

I want icing, I want it now
I want ice-cream till the cows dry out
so put it in all of the libraries
I get hungry
they can eat all around lit
eat all around lit oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh

yeah, we're all reading 'bout liar pants armstrong
who's biography is classed as fiction.
now we're finally hearing the real thing.
So grab a bun, sit with me and drink this
Yeah its a wonderful, chemical confession
And the drugs are listed by dewey decimal
And now we finally found what is missing
So grab a bun, sit with me and drink this

I want icing, I want it now
I want ice-cream till the cows dry out
so put it in all of the libraries
I get hungry
they can eat all around lit
eat all around lit oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh

I want icing, I want it now
I want ice-cream till the cows dry out
so put it in all of the libraries
I get hungry
they can eat all around lit
eat all around lit oh
