Ode to Aus Jus

In Beethoven's 9th symphony there is a popular movement entitled Ode to Joy. It is one of the first things you learn to play on the piano. (I tried teaching myself how to play the piano in college. I made it that far and it is the height of my musical achievement)

One of my great food joys is a delicious French dip sandwich. So while I work on the video presentation and the music to play on my toy xylophone I give you my "Ode to Au Jus"

Ode to Au Jus
Hot toast and tasty lean roast beef
on the plate you're a pair
a perfect combo but not quite there
you need that special thing to cross my teeth.

They call you a juice, one I could almost drink
salty and steamy and brown
it's only with you this all goes down
why you're called 'French' is something I can't think.

Au jus you make the meal complete
some people add tomatoes or cheese
if I finish you early I ask for "more please"
with you this sandwich is the best to eat.
