November 9 - National Scrapple Day.
The Song.
The mom-and-pop diners 'round Allentown
Don't really have much that a fella can hold down
And the folks up 'round Philly and Bethlehem
Ain't gourmet types, really, or chef-ly men
Now, they're God-fearin' folk in that Keystone State
But their food ain't fit for a collection plate
There's things for all kinds of people to hate
But there's one that everybody loves
And they call it scrapple, scrapple
Corned and steamed, and hogmeat dappled
Set by the window 'til it's cold and hard
Sliced up thick and fried in lard
Hey what's that swimmin' in the big red pan
That's kickin' up all this mania?
It's scrapple, scrapple
The pride of Pennsylvania
Well, way down yonder by the Ford Corsair
Billy's got his hands in Betty Sue's hair
Shakin' and a-steamin' up the Roadmaster
We can see him but we can't see her
Well Mama's in the kitchen and she might see
"Billy better leave your sister be!"
But he jumps from the Buick to the dining room
When he gets a whiff of that pig perfume
