Everything was in there
That you d want to see
Corned beef and onions
And true love
Turnips and tinned tomatoes
Parsnips and a few potatoes
A couple extra blessings
From above
Now this here mingle-mangle
Was my best one yet
A big old bad goulash
Worth waiting for
And i m just about to dip my can
Taste some brotherhood of man
When I get a feeling
That there s a flaw
Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan
Was it you
Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew
I close my eyes
For just a minute
What do you do
Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew
You won t find self-improvement or philosophy
In a dumpster sitting by
The kitchen door
There s plenty leek and humble pie
Ain t too much ham on rye
Sometimes I wonder
What i m looking for
But a spoonful of forgiveness
Goes a longlong way
And we all should do our best
To get along
Add a pinch of kindness crumbling
To your loving dumpling
Okra for thickening
When something s wrong
But who put old pigweed
In the mulligan
Was it you
Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew
I close my eyes
For just a minute
What do you do
Who put old pigweed
In the mulligan stew
