Thank God I’m a ChileHead!


Written by: Jeff "The Pepper Man" Schickowski and posted to the Chile-heads Mailing List

Sung to the tune of John Denver's "Thank God I’m a Country Boy"

As a recent subscriber I thought that it was about time to contribute something. Here's a song I wrote (the lyrics at least) and I hope you all enjoy it!

Oh, I’m a ChileHead and I say it with pride,
It’s a special kind of feeling starting way down inside,
Your taste for the spicy’s not something to hide
Thank God I’m a ChileHead.
Now, Some wimpy folk, just can’t take the heat,
A little cayenne pepper will knock them off their feet,
When they serve their Hottest! sauce, I say Isn’t that sweet?
Thank God I’m a ChileHead

Chorus:
Well I’ve had me a Hab, It’s a hell of a chile,
And I’ve eaten some sauces with names that are silly,
That Insanity stuff is really a dilly
Thank God I’m a ChileHead.

While some chile peppers are packed full of heat,
Ain’t much an old ChileHead like me can’t eat,
A red sovina hab is really a treat
Thank God I’m a ChileHead
I’m growing hot peppers, I’ve got my own farm
Not the green Bell peppers ‘cause they’re lacking in charm,
But the hottest little peppers that’ll never do harm
Thank God I’m a ChileHead

Chorus

My eyes never tear, I’m not much of a crier,
My tongue’s about as tough as an old snow tire,
I don’t even care if my backside’s on fire!
Thank God I’m a ChileHead.
I’d eat chile peppers all day if I could,
But my wife and my plumber wouldn’t take it very good,
I never use a toilet seat that’s made out of wood
Thank God I’m a ChileHead.

Chorus

I wouldn’t trade my peppers for treasures or jewels
I leave the mild sauces for the children and fools,
My own Special Sauce takes the rust off of tools,
Thank God I’m a ChileHead
So I taught my son young to relish the heat,
And introduced him to this wonderful treat,
Told him about the taste that just can’t be beat
And now he’s a ChileHead!!!

Chorus

Another ChileHead theme song:
That "Other"Ring 'O Fire ( A.K.A. "Hunan Butt")
