I love the coolness of the cole slaw,
I love the sour of the kraut,
Someday I'll go,
For groceries I know,
Lunchmeat, is what I long to eat,
I'll steal some cheddar like an outlaw,
But provolone I'll do without,
I want some feed,
A sandwich I need,
Stomach! I know you're wanting some:
Pa-Strami!
How I love ya, how I love ya!
My Dear Pastrami,
I'd give the world to try,
A sandwich made from
P-A-S-T-R-A-M-I've got some,
Waiting for me,
Sliced up for me,
Down at the Deli,
I want to make two Reubens or more,
'Cause that is what Pastrami's for!
Pastrami, Pastrami, how I love Pastrami!
Sammie, Sammie, heaven with two chunks of bread!
Ain't had a sammich in a long time,
My-old blood sugar's runnin' low,
I need some meat,
To munch for a treat,
Starving, I'm gonna be,
The deli opens at the wrong time,
The chubs of meat are slicing slow,
Without some bread,
And meat, I'll be dead,
Pastrami! You're calling me!
Pa-Strami!
How I love ya, how I love ya!
My Dear Pastrami,
I'd give the world to try,
A sandwich made from
P-A-S-T-R-A-M-I've got some,
Waiting for me,
Sliced up for me,
Down at the Deli,
I want to make two Reubens or more,
'Cause that is what Pastrami's for!
