Big Red, The Pancake eater...
It was Leon's birthday
On the camp-grounds by the lake
He just wanted a quiet night, on the grill he had some steaks
Missy and Chrissy, were raising hell
The air was hot and steamy
The wife lives up to her name...They call her 'Screamin' Mimi'
Why can't we have a quiet night, like some other folks?
Without my 'Screamin' Mimi' , getting mad and stoked?
In the A.M.... eating pancakes, the contest is tomorrow
I'm 'Big Red' when I go to eat, but my heart is filled with sorrow
I really need to sleep, or I can't be my best
My stomach saying... Hey..." I gotta have some rest"
The camp-grounds are a mad house
Kids are running to and fro
Don't need the quiet of a mouse
Just no screamin', don't you know?
Here comes the light of dawn, and I couldn't sleep a wink
Big Red, is my name, but my stomach starts to sink
Suddenly... things went blank on me, I saw all shades of red
When I came back to myself... there were all kinds of dead
They say I went real insane
Chopping limbs and stabbing hearts
People screaming out my name
Me... farting pancake farts
I used the fork, to stab my foes
Hit them with the skillet
I broke the table with the judge's nose
Yelling, "There's another....Kill it!"
Next year, I think... I'm sure to win first-place
The competition ain't no big shakes
I should be the favored ace
At the prison-house in 'Great Lakes'
