The Stinky Cheese Man Piano Book

STINKY CHEESE MAN

IT'S NO PICNIC, BEING CHEESE.

IF YOUR NAME IS MONTRACHET OR BEL PAESE

BETTER STAY OUT OF THE BREEZE OR (IF YOU PLEASE)

YOU WON'T NEED A CHAPERONE.

JUST LIKE THE OLD SONG USED TO TELL

ABOUT THE FARMER IN THAT DELL:

DOG, CAT, AND MOUSE ALL SAY FAREWELL, FAREWELL:

THE CHEESE STANDS ALONE!

BUT CHEDDAR'S THE COLOR OF THE SUN

AND GOUDA'S SKIN'S RED AS A ROSE.

AND BRIE IS SOFT LIKE SATIN

AND RUNNY LIKE HONEY

AND TASTE NICE, IF YOU HOLD YOUR NOSE.

NO,

IT'S NO PICNIC BEING CHEESE.

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT YOU'RE BOUND TO DISPLEASE,

BUT SINCE THIS IS WHAT I WAS MEANT TO BE,

I DON'T ASK THE QUESTION "WHY",

SOME DAYS WE ALL FEEL LIKE A CURD,

BUT LIFE DOESN'T HAVE TO SEEM ABSURD,

JUST LOOK UP AT THAT BIG CHEDDAR WHEEL

AS IT ROLLS ACROSS THE SKY.
