[4/4, brightly]
WHEN THEY DIE, I PUT THEM IN THE COOKIES
--J. Wrabek
1.
What do earthworms have in common with spiders, flies and ants?
They all go in the cookie dough whenever I have a chance;
Sometimes, a little lizard, or a pretty garden snake
To add a little bit of color to my cookies when they bake.
CHORUS:
When they die, I put them in the cookies;
Out of respect, I keep the heat on low;
Might’ve been usless when alive, it’ll be better when they’ve died
‘Cause they’ll get reincarnated in my special cookie dough.
2.
The cats bring tidbits to me nearly ev’ry day,
Sayin’, “put these in the cookies, we’re sure it’ll be okay”;
The birds are a little crunchy if you try to use them all,
But the rodents are like raisins if you get ‘em when they’re small.
CHORUS:
When they die, I put them in the cookies;
Out of respect, I keep the heat on low;
Might’ve been usless when alive, it’ll be better when they’ve died
‘Cause they’ll get reincarnated in my special cookie dough.
3.
Well, the kids found a cougar by the side of the road
That had gone to cougar heaven, like all dead cougars go;l
I couldn’t let the body rot—it seemed like such a waste—
So I put it in the cookies, for that mountain lion taste.
CHORUS:
When they die, I put them in the cookies;
Out of respect, I keep the heat on low;
Might’ve been usless when alive, it’ll be better when they’ve died
‘Cause they’ll get reincarnated in my special cookie dough.
[BREAK]
4.
No need for a funeral when they find out that I am dead—
Just put me in the batter, like I did the fam’ly pets;
You don’t have to cremate me—baking will be fine—
And you can cut back on the sugar ‘cause I’m a sweetheart kind of guy.
CHORUS:
When I die, just put me in the cookies;
Out of respect, please keep the heat on low;
Might’ve been usless when alive, I’ll be better when I’ve died
‘Cause I’ll get reincarnated in my special cookie dough.
CHORUS:
When they die, I put them in the cookies;
Out of respect, I keep the heat on low;
Might’ve been usless when alive, it’ll be better when they’ve died
‘Cause they’ll get reincarnated in my special cookie dough.
Might’ve been usless when alive, it’ll be better when they’ve died
‘Cause they’ll get reincarnated in my special cookie dough.
