The Lyrics
They asked me how I knew
Combining those two
Oh, eat that food that's fried
With Coke I'm satisfied
They said someday you'll find
There are other kinds
They don't realize
Coke goes good with fries
So I had my lunch and I was glad
To see them give a try
Now today. my friends had on their trays
A Coke with fries piled high
Now, when my friends decide
In me they can confide
Oh, so I smile and say
"Order super size"
Coke goes good with fries
Coke goes good with fries
Combining those two
Oh, eat that food that's fried
With Coke I'm satisfied
They said someday you'll find
There are other kinds
They don't realize
Coke goes good with fries
So I had my lunch and I was glad
To see them give a try
Now today. my friends had on their trays
A Coke with fries piled high
Now, when my friends decide
In me they can confide
Oh, so I smile and say
"Order super size"
Coke goes good with fries
Coke goes good with fries

Michael Bloomberg will send his food police to cut you down to size. Watch both your calorie count and your syllable counts. The Hoagy Carmichael original had 5 lines in some stanzas, you only 4.
Nice to see two Platters parodies in a day. Things are looking up for the veteran music lovers. Good gastronomically incorrect concept - way to go.
Barry J., good to see someone taking parodists to task on pacing, especially in the absence of that perfect-pacing policeman, Tommy Turtle. I found this quite singable and effective, but curiosity sent me scuttling to the original song and sure enough, there are two lines where four syllables have been subbed for five. However, more salient is that a line has been omitted from each of the first two verses. So I'm voting same as you, 354. Fun stuff though - more please, Danny

Danny - I enjoyed this one. Yes, I recognize the aforementioned pacing glitches, but on balance this is a fine job. ;D
Dan - Don't ever let coke in your eyes...It burns
Screw Bloomberg. But I would not want Tommy after me for pacing glitches.
