This is yet another song fu contribution. The challenge was to write a song that contains a recipe in some way. The music was clearly inspired by Eläkeläiset. The lyrics for the chorus came somewhat natural; the rest is a collection of ingredients, some of them intentionally sung in German. Finally, I could use some live drums. I had recorded them five years ago for a song I never released online.
lyrics
Here is a secret that I'm going to share with you
The perfect meal to eat before you're getting drunk
This recipe comes straight from the heart of Mother Russia
It keeps any hangover away
You need some schnitzel soup and 17 potatoes
The soup is easy - just get a lot of meat
Then put it in a pot and add a little water
Boil it for a while until it's through
When it's
Vodka, vodka - early in the evening
Vodka, vodka - early in the night
Vodka, vodka - early in the evening
Vodka, vodka - early in the night
If you like it sweet you add some apfelstrudel
And if you're hungry you should add chunk of cheese
And when the soup is boiling you add a few more items
Paprika, tomatoes, sauerkraut and beans
You have to eat a lot for the soup to be effective
Five full plates at least
When it's
Vodka, vodka - early in the evening
Vodka, vodka - early in the night
Vodka, vodka - early in the evening
Vodka, vodka - drinking all day and night
Vodka!
Vodka, vodka - early in the evening
Vodka, vodka - early in the night
Vodka, vodka - early in the morning
Vodka, vodka - drinking all day and night
