Tofu Roadkill

Tofu Roadkill is unique in my collection of originals as being the only song -- with music and lyrics -- that I have written. As the title implies, it is intended to be fun and crazed. The song was written in 1999. I could not bring myself to show it to anyone -- especially to my songwriter friends! So, the lead sheet stayed in my music files until Matthew Klein (AKA, Uncle Brother), a musician friend in Berkeley Springs, WV, took it under his wing for this 2020 project which he arranged, performed, and recorded. Uncle Brother has a wonderful sense of humor and he is also a Qigong practitioner (which we have in common). His style is a perfect match for this song.  

Lyrics

Tofu roadkill is tasty.  I like it with gravy.  Tofu roadkill, I know it's good for me.

First, slice it thinly and bake it ever so gently. Then, you can add wasabi. 

Tofu...tofu...tofu...tofu roadkill.

I love tofu roadkill. It goes with spaghetti. Tofu roadkill, I know it's good for me. 

Tofu...tofu...tofu...tofu.
