"That's not fiddle player; it's picolo player"
"How can you tell?"
"It's piping hot!"
"Then blow on it first".
"And we've got some shepherd pie peppered with actual shepherd on top".
This is funny because I am a member of my school's irish club, which is basically the white people in our performing arts department. And we had our annual irish club luncheon in which we sold shepherd's pie and you better bet that I as a silly little freshman several years ago belted that out.

I voted "sheperd's pie". I love all the "p"s in that line. They make it so interesting!

yeah it was really funny though... she said her mom said sarcastically later, "Oh That girl! She has to come and make my daughter not hungry so the food I worked hard to put on the table has to go to waste!"

When i first heard this song on stage i liked it, and thought it was really good. However, after getting the Cast Recording i started to realise that it is a real masterpiece. The word play in it is just amazing.
Probably my favourite would be the one mentioned by "What the heck"
"That's not fiddle player; it's picolo player"
"How can you tell?"
"It's piping hot!"
"Then blow on it first"

it really is a masterpiece, no matter which version you hear. the word play is truly magnificent and this one song proves Sondheim's genius all by itself.
