Lyrics

Does the relish ever want to be the hot dog? Does the pickle ever want to be the bun? Does the ketchup ever want to be the meatloaf Saying being second fiddle's no fun? Does the coleslaw ever want to be the chicken? Does the cinnamon want to be the pumpkin pie? Does the mayonnaise ever want to be bologna? Does it ever hang its head and cry? Singing why can't I be the main dish? Where oh where is my pride? Why can't I be the main dish? Why am I always on the side? Does the cheese want to be the spaghetti? Does the garlic want to be the pizza pie? Does the dressing ever want to be the salad Or the mustard the pastrami on rye? Does the tartar sauce long to be the fish? Or the barbecue long to be the ribs? Does the spinach long to be the lasagna? Does it ever scream hey what gives? Singing why can't I be the main dish? Where oh where is my pride? Why can't I be the main dish? Why am I always on the side? Does the hot dog ever want to be the relish? Does the spaghetti ever want to be the sauce? Does the chicken ever want to be the salt Saying I'm sick of being the boss? Does the meatloaf ever want to be the breadcrumbs? Does the omelet ever want to be the cheese? Do the waffles ever want to be the syrup Just to live the life of ease? Singing why must I be the main dish? Taking all the rest for a ride Why must I be the main dish? Sometimes I long to sit on the side In the end the mustard's happy to be mustard And the sugar is happy to be sweet And the tofu is happy being tofu Singing my whole life's complete And the ginger is happy to be spicy And the vinegar's content to be sour And the chicken soup is happy to be salty They're all feeling better hour to hour Singing I don't need to be the main dish And I don't need to be on the side I am just what I am now And that leaves me beaming with pride Charlie Pride that is No one knows what goes on behind closed refrigerator doors
