Hi, I'm looking for the lyrics to Tom Lehrer's songs for The Electric
Company. Searching around I found all but three:

Without An S
The Menu Song
Why Must You Whine (never aired on TEC)

I believe The Menu Song to be this:

The lyrics are incomplete and the credit is given (by default) to Joe
Raposo. I found some more fragments:

==========
Man: You got soup?
Waitress: We got soup.
Man: What kind of soup?
Waitress: All kinds of soup.

We got meat soup,
Got beet soup,
Got sweet soup,
Shredded wheat soup,
Concrete soup,
Torn bed sheet soup,
Parakeet soup,
And most of all -- dirty feet soup.

We got ham sandwich,
Got yam sandwich,
...
telegram sandwich.

Salad...

Ice cream... (we got plum and rum and bubblegum) ...
=========

Can anyone remember more?

Help would be much appreciated!

TIA, Ulrik
