Soup Kitchen Celebrity (Acoustic)

Al Schvitz

[Verse 1]
Well, unknown people and auspicious folks
There's no big eagles here 'cause we're all fucking broke
And it's good enough for you if it's good enough for me
To be a soup kitchen celebrity

[Verse 2]
It's where the great, the greater and the greatest all meet
You don't feel too great when you've had nothing to eat
It's good enough for you if it's good enough for me
To be a soup kitchen celebrity

[Bridge]
Yeah, soup kitchen celebrity
At Martin de Porres church, twelve until three
And when I wake up late and my stomach starts to holler
I catch a seven bus to Cole and Waller

[Verse 3]
When my calorie intake feel low, I ain't slow
I go to Divisadero to hear Christian blow
But don't you cut in line in front of me
'Cause I'm a soup kitchen celebrity

[Verse 4]
There's Bob Noxious and Tim City D
Gary Floyd and the Dicks right in front of me
And my favorite dishwasher get in when he please
I'm talking Darren Peligro of the Dead Kennedys

[Verse 5]
You have an invitation to swallow your pride
'Cause if it wasn't for them soup kitchens, we all might have died
But don't you cut in line in front of me
'Cause I'm a soup kitchen celebrity

[Bass Solo]

[Verse 6]
So I don't wanna hear when you're in my hometown
That you're poor and you're hungry, we're all chowing down
It's good enough for you if it's good enough for me
To be a soup kitchen celebrity

[Verse 7]
You've got a invitation to swallow your pride
'Cause if it wasn't for them soup kitchens, we all might have died
But don't you cut in line in front of me
'Cause I'm a lip-smacking, ever-loving, home-cooking
Where's the seconds line soup kitchen celebrity
