Lyrics Challenge -- Fish Heads

"Sandburg, just what kind of restaurant is this?"  Ellison eyed the
exterior of the place with trepidation.

"Come on, Jim.  It's great.  They have wonderful Chinese food."

"But the name of the place..."

"Don't worry about the name.  It's owned by a very young couple who were
still feeling rebellious when they got out of cooking school and started
the place."

"I don't know..."

"Just come on in."

Jim followed his partner into the garishly decorated Chinese restaurant.
He had to admit that the food smelled delicious and that there were plenty
of patrons.  Thankfully Blair had reservations and they were seated
immediately.

"Jim what's wrong?"

Jim's shoulders were shaking uncontrollably as he read the menu that had
been given him by the young waiter.

"It was one thing to name the restaurant "Fish Heads" in Chinese."  It's
another to use the lyrics of the Barnes and Barnes song to describe the
entrees, Chief."

Blair read his own menu.  The words to the song were indeed sprinkled
throughout.  The Seafood Soup had was described with the chorus to "Fish
Heads."

"Fish heads fish heads
Roly poly fish heads
Fish heads fish heads
Eat them up, yum!"

"This is a theme restaurant, Jim.  The patrons understand the whimsy of
it."

"Well, if I hear "They're Coming to Take me Away" on the Muzak, I'm leaving
through the kitchen."
