about

When my good friend Izera was having a yiros (souvlaki/kebab in other states) for lunch one day, he mentioned how awesome a rap song about yiroses would be, and made up a few lines on the spot. These became the starter points for a rap song about yiroses. Somehow it turned from cruddy MIDI demo with a guy who can't rap (me) to a funky jam with a guy whose rapping is no longer THAT bad, but still not great (me).

- Lord Clarrington

lyrics

Yo big man, don't give me no qualms
And don't let no hair fall off of your arms
I wanna see your posse make me a yiros
I'll buy the best for me lunch mister boss.
Come on bro, just want some chicken and pitta,
Ain't no big deal, why you bein' so bitter?
Let's add some lettuce, tomato and garlic sauce
Yeah this yiros is the ultimate first course!

Yo yiros, yo yo yiros, yo yiros, yo yo yiros!

I want a five star yiros just whip it up,
With lamb and chicken and coke in a cup
Take a sacred sip and honour this food,
Good god damn, it just tastes so good!
Don't give me no jive about rice teriyaki
Strap on ya skates and roll that souvlaki
A yiros to go, so don't make it slow
I'm watchin' ya man and so is ma bro.

Bread, meat, tomato, don't put no potato
And some lettuce so fine it could be made into wine,
Chuck it all together, wrap it in paper
Whoa steady man don't light it with a taper.
"Yo C Dizzle, whatcha got boss?"
Yo ma homie it's delicious yiros
"For rizzle ma shizzle?" I ain't yizzlin' ya nizzle
"I was gonna get chips but now I'mma some o' that frizzle!"

Yo yiros, yo yo yiros, yo yiros, yo yo yiros!

I want a five star yiros just whip it up,
With lamb and chicken and coke in a cup
Take a sacred sip and honour this food,
Good god damn, it just tastes so good!
Don't give me no jive about rice teriyaki
Strap on ya skates and roll that souvlaki
A yiros to go, so don't make it slow
I'm watchin' ya man and so is ma bro.

Now, let's chuck some beef into the mix,
Hit inferiority for a six,
Don't contaminate my food with your arm hair,
Keep ya fuckin' follicles outta there!
One more thing before I go away,
Give me some Coke to make it a partay!
Yo, I think now has come the time
For me to finally end this rhyme.

Yo yiros, yo yo yiros, yo yiros, yo yo yiros!

I want a five star yiros just whip it up,
With lamb and chicken and coke in a cup
Take a sacred sip and honour this food,
Good god damn, it just tastes so good!
Don't give me no jive about rice teriyaki
Strap on ya skates and roll that souvlaki
A yiros to go, so don't make it slow
I'm watchin' ya man and so is ma bro!

The Prophets of Impending Doom are possibly the only ska band to ever feature a dedicated cowbellist.
