The Frim Fram Sauce
Vocal
“French-Fried What???”
What is Frim Fram Sauce anyway? In a word nonsense, and this song is nothing but nonsense. It tells a great story of someone who has no money ordering at a restaurant and attempting to avoid having to pay. Smart? Who knows? But one thing is for sure, he has come up with some zany requests. The song is in a typical 32-bar form with lots of opportunities to make the story come alive with the audience. Have fun!!!
