Ketchup Songtext
von Tom Paxton

I bought a big tomato at the grocery store
And everybody wondered what I wanted for
I put it in the mixer and I turned the mixer on
It went around ′round 'round till I knew that it was done
It made ketchup
It made ketchup
Put it on a hot dog, put it on a burger
Put it on your sister and she′ll holler bloody murder
Yeah, ketchup
Yeah ketchup
I bought a dish of ice cream from the Good Humour man
I took it in the kitchen and I put it in the pan
When everyone was sleeping I came slipping on down
I took it from the freezer and I spread it all around
It made ketchup
Sweet ketchup
Put it on a hot dog, put it on a burger
Put it on your sister and she'll holler bloody murder
Yeah, ketchup
Yeah ketchup


Nothing else will tickle my taste buds
Nothing else will hit me just right
A burger, a pup, I like to cover it up
With the slow and sloppy gourmet delight
I saw a nifty movie on the V.C.R.
They were fightin' space invaders from a far-away star
Lots of laser beams and there were death-ray shots
And just to make it perfect there was lots and lots and lots and lots
Of ketchup
Yeah ketchup
Put it on a hot dog, put it on a burger
Put it on your sister and she′ll holler bloody murder
Yeah, ketchup
Yeah ketchup
Nothing else will tickle my taste buds
Nothing else will hit me just right
A burger, a pup, I like to cover it up
With the slow and sloppy gourmet delight
I bought a big tomato at the grocery store
And everybody wondered what I wanted for
I put it in the mixer and I turned the mixer on
It went around ′round 'round till I knew that it was done
It made ketchup
It made ketchup
Put it on a hot dog, put it on a burger
Put it on your sister and she′ll holler bloody murder
Yeah, ketchup
Yeah ketchup
Don't want no mustard
Give me ketchup
Please pass the ketchup
