Lambchops lyrics
by Leonard Cohen
thinking of those lambchops
at Moishe's the other night
we all taste good to one another
most bodies are good to eat
even reptiles and insects
even the poisonous lutefisk of Norway
buried in the dirt a million years before serving
and the poisonous blowfish of Japan
can be prepared
to insure reasonable risks
at the table
if the crazy god did not want us to eat one another
why make our flesh so sweet
I heard it on the radio
a happy rabbit at the rabbit farm
saying to the animal psychic
don’t be sad
it's lovely here
they're so good to us
we’re not the only ones
said the rabbit
comforting her
everyone gets eaten
as the rabbit said
to the animal psychic
