Song Lyrics:
I want another slice of rhubarb tart
I want another lovely slice
I'm not disparaging the blueberry pie
But rhubarb tart is oh so very nice
A rhubarb what?
A rhubarb tart!
A whatbarb tart?
A rhubarb tart!
I want another slice of rhubarb tart!

The principles of modern philosophy
Were postulated by Descartes
Discarding everything he wasn't certain of
He said, 'I think therefore I am a rhubarb tart'
A rhubarb what?
A rhubarb tart!
A René who?
René Descartes!
Poor nut, he thought he was a rhubarb tart!

A rhubarb tart has fascinated all the poets
Especially the immortal Bard
He made Richard the Third call out at Bosworth Field:
'My kingdom for a slice of rhubarb tart!'
Immortal what?
Immortal tart!
A rhubarb what?
A rhubarb bard!
As rhymes go that is really pretty bad!

Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee
Laid down the axioms of abstract art
Even Jackson Pollock and Piet Mondrian
Preferred to paint a slice of rhubarb tart
A Wassil-who?
A Wassily
A Kandin-who?
A Kandinsky
Well, how did he get in there for a start?

Read all the existentialist philosophers
Like Schopenhauer and Jean-Paul Sartre
Even Martin Heidegger agrees on one thing:
Eternal happiness is rhubarb tart
A rhubarb what?
A rhubarb tart!
A Jean-Paul who?
A Jean-Paul Sartre!
That sounds just like a rhyme from Lionel Bart

And so... re-member whether you're a bee-kee-per,
Accountant, tree surgeon or informant,
Our advice to you is always go to work
On a slice of Rhubarb Tart
(Stavro Arrgolus)

And I was thinking it was the forerunner of other fare of questionable existence like 'lemon curry'.

Lemon curry?

You never heard of it? I was practically raised on the stuff.

Disturbingly enough, there really is such stuff. Googling it will cough up recipes. I figure if you try them, you might be as well. I thought Cleese was just making it up.
