- " Cicada Stew In my neighborhood, what is new? Cicadas are crawling up two by two Out of holes, up trees, everywhere in view. Why don't we make some cicada stew? Refrain: Cicada stew, cicada stew. Oh, so delectable, oh, so new Every seventeen years can we make the brew, A delicacy, cicada stew. Early in the morning they begin to moan. The hotter the day, the louder the drone. My lawnmower sounds attractive to those flying above, So they dive at me thinking, Ah, true love! Refrain: Cicada stew, cicada stew Susie Cicada came up looking for a mate After seventeen years, she couldn't wait! So she hurried and sang but it was too late. She ended up on someone's plate! Refrain: Cicada stew, cicada stew Barbecued, broiled, baked, or fried, Is there any way we haven't tried? Boiled, saut ed, cicada sandwiches too How about a little taste of my cicada stew? Refrain: Cicada stew, cicada stew We had a mild winter and a very long spring, Freedom round the world was beginning to ring. 1990 is the year we remember with pride for that is the year . We first tried Refrain: Cicada stew, cicada stew Tragedies everywhere on earth abound While cicadas have been sleeping in peace underground. Little buggers are welcomed all over town They're arriving in droves not expecting to drown in Cicada Stew "
