+**Chorus:**
+//Hot meat, hot meat, it's the only thing to eat,
+The meal to satisfy you from your head down to your feet.
+The carrot and the cucumber they simply can't compete
+With nature's finest pleasure, Hot Meat, Hot Meat.//
+Miss Wilkie had an appetite that could not be denied,
+For vegetables and fruits had left her quite unsatisfied,
+A yearning empty space that needed filling up inside
+With something warm and firm and thick, so this is what she tried:
+[//chorus//]
+So she went to see the Butcher, a man of great renown.
+His meat was recommended by the hungriest girls in town.
+It was so plump and juicy it was famous through the land,
+So she thrilled with great excitement when he put it in her hand.
+[//chorus//]
+He said, "For very best results, don't boil it in a pot,
+But lard it very carefully and handle it a lot,
+And you must preheat your oven, and when it's good and hot,
+Just pop it in and baste it well with all the juice you've got."
+[//chorus//]
+Well, she followed all the recipe and cooked it half the night,
+And the meal so satisfied her that she cried out in delight,
+But when she took it from her oven, she observed with great surprise
+That she must have overdone it for it had shrunk to half its size.
+[//chorus//]
+So to every girl and woman, spinster, widow, bride, and wife,
+If you want the finest pleasures from this fleeting earthly life,
+A lovely snoozly feeling, a smug and happy grin,
+A misty light within your eyes and gravy on your chin!
+[//chorus//]
