Sweat Freak--Who Ate All the Pies

VERSE 1
I did! in seconds flat. Made them vanish…just like that!
But let me tell ya, I'm the one! Pie-eating champion
Steak and kidney, mince or chicken, It’s all the same to me
I’m the girl you cannot sicken, On a culinary spree

CHORUS
Surprise surprise!   You will believe your eyes
Weighing up my size   Who claimed that pastry prize
I’m telling you no lies   It took me several tries
It’s ill-advised   But I ate all the pies

VERSE 2
The game is on, but they can’t compete With a girl who’s never seen her feet
They’re pretty good, but look at this I’m their pie-eyed nemesis
A flying start, pie-hole position They know they’ve met their match
I’m a glutton on a mission As pies go down the hatch

CHORUS
Surprise surprise!   You will believe your eyes
Weighing up my size   Who claimed that tasty pastry prize
I’m telling you no lies   Though it took me several tries
It’s ill-advised   But I ate all the pies

VERSE 3
So once again the trophy's mine And that expanding waistline
I’ll make a meal of coming first So long as I don’t burst
I’ll see ya all next year I can’t just sit here straining
I’m gonna grab a takeaway And get back into training

CHORUS
Surprise surprise!   You will believe your eyes
Weighing up my size   Who claimed that tasty pastry prize
I’m telling you no lies   Though it took me several tries
It’s ill-advised   But I ate all the pies

@CaliaMoko, @Sterix and @PaulAds - Lyrics take centre stage here and there are some real beauties. I was hoping to hear the words set to melody which, would have been the icing on the cake.. A chance to weave some real character into the fabulous lyrics. Loving the quirky musical backing too.

I enjoyed helping out on this one...it was a lot of fun.

I had visions of doing a really hammy Lancashire George Formby/Frank Sidebottom thing with this...but, ultimately, we just didn't have the time.

I might have a crack at it when I get a minute...he hee...turned out nice again, etc

Very original ideas here guys. Sung/rapped? by a Siri tribute act no less! Fantastic fun. Good luck in the comp? (By the way the title is spelt “sweat freak” , maybe you mean’t “sweet freak?” Or have I just really embarrassed myself?? 😆🤦🏼‍♂️

Hola @CaliaMoko

Nice to see you!!
I loved the freshness of the song, it is fun, full of images that are easy to recreate through your words and this style, which I had never heard before by you, I really liked it, you have returned to adolescence with this song.
I understand that it is difficult to compete with a girl like that
"a girl who’s never seen her feet". hahaha My God!!!

I enjoyed it a lot!!! Big kisss.

What fun!! Hard to know what to say about this because it's so off the wall! But I love it. The contributions to the challenge have been so varied. And this one is remarkable. I'd love to know how you created it. The lyrics are great. Well done guys :)

@CaliaMoko This is hysterical, clever and beautifully written. I loved the spoken word delivery and the musical hall style instrumentation is perfect. Cracking entry.

Great lyrics - I am always up for a rhyme fest (chicken-sicken!).
I would definitely like to hear that cheesy music-hall sung version, though, as the slightly weird timing in the lady's delivery started to irk me a bit...
Nice and not too serious, in line with the competition.

@CaliaMoko  well seeing that title, how could I not give this a go?!?!😂 it does not disappoint! Real fun, great comedy lyrics perfectly marries with the backing... that was a master stroke to use the read function on your phone (is it?) for the vocal, the dead pan slightly posh stilted voice completely at odds with the comedy lyrics works so well! Brilliant 😂👏👏👏

Thank you to everyone for all your great feedback! I'm sorry this is so brief; I am having a hard time lately getting to bed at any kind of decent time and I'm getting a bit short on sleep, so that's where I'm headed now. But first I wanted to remind you all that this piece of artwork is the brainchild of @Sterix and got a lot of input from @PaulAds . I am mainly the facilitator.
