While it isn't about cannibalism, I remember a silly song done by, I
*think*, the Kingston Trio about being eaten by a boa constrictor. As I
remember it, it went something like...

I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor
A boa constrictor, a boa constrictor
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor
And I don't like it - one bit

Oh, gee - he's up to my knee

Oh, fiddle - he's reached my middle

Oh, heck - he's up to fmrg wngk gch mrf...
