Press the flag! Lyrics- Life's extension lottery, kind to some, but not to thee Born with a rare and sad disease, she grew -a ham- where her head should be Flowing hair, she was a cutie-pie A meaty face and a lovely eye Her dream was to be a famous star But at the rate she was going she wasn't going fa-a-ar Hamantha, Hamantha, you were impossible to ignore Hamantha, Hamantha, so greedy, we wanted more Her father was a simple man, he wanted to help 'In any way that I can!' Home from school, he watched his daughter cry in the yard, he cursed God and fired at the sky Flowing hair, she was a cutie-pie A meaty face and a lovely eye Her dreams in the sky, her father felt her pain And as he shot the clouds, it began to rain Hamantha, Hamantha, you were impossible to ignore Hamantha, Hamantha, so greedy we wanted more Got a call from the doctor, he had some amazing news for her He just developed a cure If she hurried over now, he'd try it out on her Burst out the door, she was beaming Among the raindrops, her happy tears were streaming Finally freed from her pain, but something else fell with the rain A stray bullet shot by her father aimlessly nested inside her She fell on the sidewalk, now empty On the life that once christened her body "Nurse, s-she's.. she's gone." "O-oh, oh dear." "I left a lunch on the table in the operating room for the bereaved, a cooked ham, as is customary for these.. dark situations." "U-uh, Doctor, what... which one is the... which... which one is the ham that-? "I-I must.. I must go.. I must.. I must go, I'm on break." "Oh dear." Flowing hair, she was a cutie-pie A meaty face and a lovely eye At her time of death, the doc said, 'Time to eat!' So we took a bite out of her face meat Hamantha, Hamantha, you were impossible to ignore Hamantha, Hamantha, so greedy we wanted more Soaring infinitely through space, Hamantha's soul was graced With a glance of our humble planet, at which she was amazed The news of her untimely death had spread out near and far And through her soul, the truth was whole, the dream had crossed the bar Hamantha had become a star, Hamantha was finally a star Hamantha had become a star, Hamantha was finally a star
