lyrics

Anthea A. self-made billionairese,
struck her fortune through mail-order sales.
A former Avon representative,
she dabbled in Tupperware on the weekends.
By day an American working wife,
who have guessed about her secret life?
When she took the kiddies out for spin,
who would have guessed her intentions of sin?

Anthea A. you got blood on your fingers
You’re eating the cream of America’s youth,
Photo on a milk carton ain’t much good
‘Cause Johnny’s been turned into soup.

Anthea had a certain way with kids
She even practiced on her own brood
The right mix of herbs and spices,
She could turn kids into food.

Her favorite was after-school car pools,
A wagon-load of flesh was her cup of tea.
Duran Duran vids were more than enough,
To shut the kids up until dinner time.

Anthea A. you got blood on your fingers
You’re eating the cream of America’s youth,
Photo on a milk carton ain’t much good
‘Cause Johnny’s been turned into soup.

The delicacies of Anthea A. made Betty Crocker look like a fluke.
Limb and organs and fingers and stuff,
Nothing grown-up, nothing rough.

Anthea A. better watch your step,
You’re skating on mighty thin ice.
What are your neighbors gonna think,
When they see their child on a bed of rice?

Anthea A. you got blood on your fingers
You’re eating the cream of America’s youth,
Photo on a milk carton ain’t much good
‘Cause Johnny’s been turned into soup.
