The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. I don’t want a sirloin steak
You can take pie and cake
They give me a tummy ache
I like stinky cheese
Liederkranz or camembert
Soft gruyere, roquefort rare
Gee, it smells, but I don’t care
I like stinky cheese
Just remember this please
A piece of Swiss cheese is heavenly
Strong cheese fairly fells me
My family tells me
That half the city smells me
All the folks are horrified
Run outside, try to hide
I’m alone but satisfied
I like stinky cheese
2. I don’t go for fancy eats
Juicy meats, lots of sweets
When I eat it, it repeats
I like stinky cheese
You can keep your roasted lambs
Country hams, homemade jams
I don’t go for candied yams
I like stinky cheese
Take a great big bowl o’ some gorgonzola
That’s ripe and rare
Rub it on a grater, a moment later
They’ll send a fumigator
Cheese for baking, cheese to stew
Cheese to brew, cheese ragout
All I know is next to you
I like stinky cheese
