ChatGPT-Nobody Says, Throw That Tofu on the Barbie
(Original Song Lyrics – Country/Blues Style)

(Verse 1)
I fired up the grill on a Saturday night,
Got my apron on, everything’s just right.
Steaks and ribs, chicken wings too,
Then my neighbor walks in sayin’, “Hey, guess what I brought you?”

(Pre-Chorus)
I took one look, nearly dropped my beer,
Said, “Now what the hell is that you got here?”
He grinned real big, said, “It’s the latest craze,
No meat, no grease, just a plant-based phase.”

(Chorus)
Nobody says, “Throw that tofu on the barbie!”
Nobody yells, “Pass me that soy!”
Give me some ribs, give me some brisket,
That’s the kinda thing that brings me joy!
You can keep your kale and quinoa salad,
I like my food with a little more heart.
Nobody says, “Throw that tofu on the barbie!”
And I ain’t about to start!

(Verse 2)
Now I respect folks and their healthy ways,
But don’t mess with my grillin’ on Saturdays.
You want some veggies? That’s just fine,
But they better be sittin’ next to a ribeye of mine!

(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, I ain't judgin', to each their own,
But when it comes to cookin', leave my grill alone!
'Cause ain't no cowboy, ain't no champ,
Ever wrote a song ‘bout a tofu camp!

(Chorus – Big & Bold!)v Nobody says, “Throw that tofu on the barbie!”v Nobody shouts, “Pass me that soy!”
Give me some ribs, give me some brisket,
That’s the kinda thing that brings me joy!
You can keep your almond milk latte,
I’ll stick to whiskey and a flame-charred steak.
Nobody says, “Throw that tofu on the barbie!”
And buddy, that ain’t about to change!

(Bridge – Slower & Playful)
Now don’t get me wrong, you do you,
But if I see tofu in my barbecue,
I’ll have to kindly show you the door,
And tell you, “Friend, we don’t do that no more!”

(Final Chorus – Full Power!)
Nobody says, “Throw that tofu on the barbie!”
Nobody sings, “Tofu’s the king!”
Give me some ribs, give me some brisket,
Ain’t no substitute for the real thing!
You can grill what you want, I won’t complain,
Just don’t bring that stuff near my propane!
Nobody says, “Throw that tofu on the barbie!”
And if they do—well, bless their heart!v
(Outro – Slow & Spoken with a Chuckle)
Now pass me them ribs, son… and maybe a cold one, too.
