This curious original is quite a rarity, with only two known performances, on 9/12/88 and 5/26/89. When one realizes the origins of the song – it was made up on the spot to extend the band’s set – one may cease questioning its absence from Phish’s current live show.
Lyrics:
(Phish)
You'd better stock up on peanut butter
Oh, I don't know.
There's going to be a shortage
this year
It happened with lettuce and toilet paper
I'll buy a couple of small jars
Good
