Ramen

I have heard this song so many times and like only 10 amazingly lucky people in the world have ever stumbled across it, so I thought I had to share it with you. This is a little tune that cracks me up every single time. Some collage friend of my dad, Jeff Zweirs, wrote it. It is a strangely romantic ballad about freeze-dried, sodium enriched instant soup. The song is the most remarkable thing. Actually the whole CD is tremendously, awesomely hilarious…maybe ill post more of his stuff at a later time. This little beauty here is entitled “Ramen”

RAMEN

“Light the stove I need some Ramen
Can u see it written in my eyes?
Light it up cause I’m longingFor a soup freeze-dried
When I see the beautiful Ramen steam, it’s paradise
Rising from a dream from the hot hot springs
In the cool moon light
Every single night, I feel so cold
You know my little heart is covered with snow
I need something warm to fill my soul,
I need tat kind of love, that special kind of love that comes in a bowl
I need some…

RamRamRamenenen RamRamRamen, RamRamRamenenenRam-----------en (2x)

Well I think it’s a mighty big shame when people eat in restaurants
They don’t know the peace and joy of a Ramen meal ambience
When you’re down, just call my name and in 3 minutes I’ll be there
Just make sure the waters boiling and in your kitchen there’s a spare package of…

RamRamRamenenen RamRamRamen, RamRamRamenenenRam-----------en (2x)

Oh poverty is what you need
To understand what it means to be free
Just give everything away, and then you can stay
In my world of Ramen
Until the break of dayAnd we’ll have…

RamRamRamenenen RamRamRamen, RamRamRamenenenRam-----------en (2x)

Ramen in my veins, Ramen on my brain,
Ramen upstairs, Ramen everywhere,
Ramen in the night, Ramen’s so right,
I’m a member of the Ramen Empire.

Chicken, pork or shrimp, I don’t care,
Just want to see that Ramen steam in the air (2x)

RamRamRamenenen RamRamRamen,
RamRamRamenenenRam-----------enRamRamRamenenen RamRamRamen, RamRamRamenenenRam-----------en Ramen…Ramen…Ramen…”
