The Lyrics
Another parody to make you hungry
The bakers served some food at the deli
There was a big huge lengthy line
In the middle right there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and have a bite
And when it his turn to order
He ordered a big sandwich
From where I stood, I heard what he ordered
And then he got it right away
Billy ordered a gyro, and also roast beef on rye
Billy ordered a gyro, no it did not have a spice
And after he finished it up, he then ordered more gyro-o-os
Billy ordered a gyro, with salami
The bakers then wrapped up his sandwich
The gyro was wrapped all around
Then every bite was in a wrapping
I bet he will son here get round
Then he ate every single bite up
To sign a check he used a pen
And Billy decided to open a restraunt
That sells each and every bread
For bread
Billy ordered a gyro, and also roast beef on rye
Billy ordered a gyro, no it did not have a spice
And after he finished it up, he then ordered more gyro-o-os
Billy ordered a gyro, with salami
I heard his restraunt got some good reviews
After it was open for one day
Billy served some rye and some gyros
And roast beef with salami
The customers would eat away
There was a big huge lengthy line
In the middle right there I saw Billy
Waiting to go and have a bite
And when it his turn to order
He ordered a big sandwich
From where I stood, I heard what he ordered
And then he got it right away
Billy ordered a gyro, and also roast beef on rye
Billy ordered a gyro, no it did not have a spice
And after he finished it up, he then ordered more gyro-o-os
Billy ordered a gyro, with salami
The bakers then wrapped up his sandwich
The gyro was wrapped all around
Then every bite was in a wrapping
I bet he will son here get round
Then he ate every single bite up
To sign a check he used a pen
And Billy decided to open a restraunt
That sells each and every bread
For bread
Billy ordered a gyro, and also roast beef on rye
Billy ordered a gyro, no it did not have a spice
And after he finished it up, he then ordered more gyro-o-os
Billy ordered a gyro, with salami
I heard his restraunt got some good reviews
After it was open for one day
Billy served some rye and some gyros
And roast beef with salami
The customers would eat away

All right Jack, all right! This is a good one! You're writing's getting a lot better all the time - 555 for this one, no problem.
Great title; wish I'd thought of it.
Cheeborgay, Cheeborgay, Cheeborgay, no Pepsi, Coke. Coke, coke, coke, chip, chip, chip, $5.55.
Just love those Greek Gyros. I frequent a Greek hole in the wall restaurant for lunch now and then called John the Greek's. If you ask for a Pepsi he sounds just like, SNL when he says "No Pepsi, Coke! Great parody Jack.

Jack, thank you thank you thank you for putting DIFFERENT lyrics in my head for this song!
Youre welcome , Mari!
Even before I read the other comments, I wanted to mention how quickly your parody writing ability has improved. Looks like you're really getting the hang of it, and I know everyone here is very happy for you . . . and hungry! Polyunsaturated Fives!
hahahaha good one...thanks for making me forget the original lyrics...my sister used to play that lame song all the time....5s
Thanks David and Alvin! Alvin : Youre welcome
Yummy!
Thanks Diva!
Now I must go to Subway.... Like the different pacing on the word SALami, bet Salome would like it too! :-D
you know the saying: "never read a food parody on an empty stomach. It makes you automatically give them 5s." I just ate. You get 5s anyway!
Good parody (I'm hungry now).
Still a great one, Jack!
I am still laughing because I thought you meant gyro as in gyroscope! I couldn't work out how you could make a song of that!
Gyro (pronounced "yeero," at least the way *I* pronounce it) is an excellent sub for hero. Which makes for an excellent title. Like C4P, I wish I woulda thought of it.
VERY BELATED thanks to Johnny, Pips and Spaff, amnd wdh, Adagio and Merry! Wow two of the best authors on the site saying they wish they thought of the title makes me feel awesome!
Anyone wanna hera this recorded?
