Everything  was in  there
 That you'd want  to see
Corned  beef and onions
 And true love
Turnips  and tinned  tomatoes
Parsnips  and a few  potatoes
A  couple extra blessings
 From above
Now  this here mingle-mangle
 Was my best  one yet
A  big old bad goulash
 Worth waiting for
And  i'm just about to dip  my can
Taste  some brotherhood  of man
When  I get a feeling
That  there's a flaw
Who  put old pigweed
 In the mulligan
 Was it you
Who  put old pigweed
 In the mulligan  stew
I  close my eyes
 For just a minute
 What do you do
Who  put old pigweed
 In the mulligan  stew
You  won't find self-improvement  or philosophy
In  a dumpster sitting by
 The kitchen door
There's  plenty leek and humble  pie
Ain't  too much ham  on rye
Sometimes  I wonder
 What i'm looking for
But  a spoonful of forgiveness
 Goes a long,  long way
And  we all should do  our best
 To get  along
Add  a pinch of kindness crumbling
To  your loving dumpling
Okra  for thickening
When  something's wrong
But  who put old pigweed
 In the mulligan
 Was it you
Who  put old pigweed
 In the mulligan  stew
I  close my eyes
 For just a minute
 What do you do
Who  put old pigweed
 In the mulligan  stew
