lyrics

They call me the lone onion.
I've got many layers.
Some might think I'm shallow.
So cut me, I dare ya.
Ain't it a crime to watch you try and hold back your tears.

They call me the lone onion
in this pumpkin patch.
Some might think I watch the sun
but I just watch my back.
Bad taste between your teeth, I can stick around for weeks.

Put me with the pork, put me with beans.
I'm green, white, vidalia, and red.
I get black at the death bead.
I'm sick and twisted, rarely visited, a hell of roots, I'm a bulb with juice.

Smelly, stinky, gut rot drinky.
Some blame me for lost pinkies.
Peel me, slice me, carmelize me.
Strongest sprit since the Ramp went wild.
Cousin Leek's got flowered shelters, but I still believe in Helter Skelter.
