Ladies, the minutes will soon be read today
The garden club and weaving cla** I'm sure have much to say
But next week is our culture night, our biggest, best event
And I've just made a dish for it you'll all find heaven-sent
It's my lime Jell-O marshmallow cottage cheese surprise
With slices of pimento. You won't believe your eyes!
All topped with a pineapple ring and a dash of mayonnaise
My vanilla wafers round the edge will win your highest praise
And Mrs. Jones is making scones that are filled with peanut mousse
To be followed by a chicken mold that's made in the shape of a goose
For ladies who must watch those pounds, we've found a special dish
Strawberry ice enshrined in rice with bits of tuna fish!
And my lime Jell-O marshmallow cottage cheese surprise
Truly a creation that description defies
Will go so well with Mrs. Bell's creation of the week
Shrimp salad topped with chocolate sauce and garnished with a leek
And Mrs. Perkins' walnut loaf that's crowned with melted cheese
Was such a hit last culture night we asked, "No seconds, please."
Now you must try her hot dog pie with candied mushroom slices
Those ladies who resigned last year, they just don't know what nice is
And my lime Jell-O marshmallow cottage cheese surprise
I did not steal that recipe! It's lies, I tell you! Lies!
Our grand award: a picture hat and a salmon sequined gown
For any girl who tries each dish and keeps her whole lunch down
I'm sure you all are waiting for the biggest news: dessert!
We thought of things in molds and rings your diet to subvert
You must try our chocolate layer cake on a peanut brittle base
With slices of bananas that make a funny face
Around the edges, peppermints just swimming in peach custard
With lovely little curlicues of lovely yellow mustard
If all this is too much for you, permit me to advise
More lime Jell-O marshmallow cottage cheese surprise
I've made heaps!
