Pie in the Sky

Some folks put their faith in the gods
Others trust in money and gold
But I am just a hobbit and fool
‘Cause all I ever think of is food
So filling
That's how it is
I don’t care what others are thinking

I dream of a life full of meals
Pies, tarts, eggs with mushrooms and cheese
I could munch until my gums are all sore
Until I can’t just take any more
Believe me
But there is one thing
That still keeps me going

I hear the pie in the sky calling for me
“Come and eat this pie!”
“I am the god of all foods”
“Just meant for you-you-you”
“Waiting up in the sky”
And I really think I can fly so I could
I could eat that pie
I could eat that pie
I would eat that pie
I will eat that pie!

Folks say that I eat too much food
“Munching day and night, it ain’t good!”
But my belly is rumbling for more
I’m drooling at my neighbour’s old boar
Dear heavens!
There must be more food in this life, surely!

I hear the pie in the sky calling for me
“Come and eat this pie!”
“I am the god of all foods”
“Just meant for you-you-you”
“Waiting up in the sky”
And I really think I can fly so I could
I could eat that pie
I could eat that pie
I would eat that pie
I will eat that pie!

I hear the pie in the sky calling for me
“Come and eat this pie!”
“I am the god of all foods”
“Just meant for you-you-you”
“Waiting up in the sky”
And I really think I can fly so I could
I could eat that pie
I could eat that pie
I would eat that pie
I will eat that pie!


About the song

There was a pierate who once wanted to catch the pie in the sky... and I bet some other hobbits have drooled after it as well. Here is a song for them fools, best hummed to Eye in the Sky, a tune by the Alan Parsons Project.
