They'll be on after the break. ("SongFest" sigh) I'll post the title as soon as they say it. They're taking suggestions in their chatroom at the moment.

They came up with some reeeally bad ones in their chatroom. I'm hoping they picked a good one. I don't think they quite got the idea of SF titles... But, it should be good. Hopefully. They're talking about Serenity at the moment...

Prayer for Pancakes

I’m on my knees
I’ve got a need
A craving deep inside my soul

I’m on my way
I’ve got a play
A plan to get me on a roll

I’m on an international mission
There’s a house for this nutrition
With deep blue shingles for my plead
A prayer for pancakes is all I need

I close my eyes
Focus on the prize
I’ve got a hunger deep inside

I say the words
One place to turn
An incantation for surprise

I’m on an international mission
There’s a house for this nutrition
With deep blue shingles for my plead
A prayer for pancakes is all I need

Rootie tootie Fresh and Fruity
My hunger is on duty
Rootie tootie Fresh and Fruity
My hunger is on duty

Sit in the booth
I look for truth
I’m staring at the table

Could this be love
I’m thinking of
Or something just unstable

I’m on an international mission
There’s a house for this nutrition
With deep blue shingles for my plead
A prayer for pancakes is all I need

a prayer for pancakes by jack

I like my eggs
Over easy
I like my women
Kind of sleazy
I like my coffee
Hot and black
No cream no sugar
No holding back

A prayer for pancakes
Is what I’ll say
Every morning
Every day
And if you ask me
Why I’ll say

Pop tarts, wheaties
They make me sick
You can keep your donuts
Keep your trix
All that junk
Won’t do the trick
So I’ll pray for pancakes and hope they don’t stick

A prayer for pancakes
Is what I’ll say
Every morning
Every day
And if you ask me
Why I’ll say

Dammit….I burned another one.

My song's in.

In my haste to set up, I forgot a pop shield for my mic, so when I sing the word 'pancake', you'll KNOW.

Prayer for Pancakes
by Luke Henley

Someone's falling apart outside
she just needs a place to hide.
Hey hey huh-hey hey hey
Hey hey huh-hey hey hey
Prayer for pancakes when I wake
I lay in bed and shake shake shake
Hey hey huh-hey hey hey
I just want to listen
to R and Be with you.
I just want to glisten
like syrup from the tree with you.

And we'll glow!
Won't you know and won't it show across the lake.
And we'll know!
This is a shuffle that will rise above the eggs and bake.

I went to an orphanage
to pretend I was a lonely son's father.
Hey hey huh-hey hey hey
Hey hey huh-hey hey hey
I took one under my arm
drove to where the plates are warm.
Hey hey huh-hey hey hey
Hey hey huh-hey hey hey
I said, "I just want to listen
to Bob Dylan with you."
He said, "where's my mother?"
I said, "she wanted to meet you." But things never work out.

Pancakes, give me pancakes
Sweet Lord Jesus, where is my water, eggs, flour and milk?
Give me batter, batter, batter
I get fatter, fatter, fatter
The girls all love a pancake-makin' man

Pancakes
Pancakes
P-p-p-p-p-p-pancakes
Amen

Looks like it got in. Sweet!


Prayer For Pancakes.

Now when it comes to breakfast kid you can't fool around
You better listen closely to the truth that I've found
Refuse to learn the lesson and you won't keep it down

Don't waste your time with waffles boy, you don't have the time
They'll set you up for sorrow by their very design
Just say a prayer for pancakes and your food will be fine

French toast is unacceptable you need something else
To be so sacrelicious can't be good for your health
You better say a prayer for pancakes or pray for yourself

Just say a prayer for pancakes
You better say a prayer for pancakes
Just say a prayer for pancakes or you won't keep 'em down
