I left my heart in Middle Earth

This lyric was written for a group of fantasy writers. They were busy posting about a complicated veggie burger recipe that was beyond my ability as a non-cook and I was feeling a bit left out. So...
Tune: I left my heart in San Francisco (music by George Cory, original lyrics by Douglass Cross).

I left my heart (my beating heart)
in middle earth (at the best part)
And now my love (oh passion's fool!)
is giving birth (with pain and drool)
To a world as odd
as Frodo's is
I just don't get
veggie burger bizz

Because I'm not (never was, no I'm not)
A chef, a cook (not a chef, not a cook)
Others may bake (or baste or roast)
I'll read a book (I'm fine with toast)

cuz...I left my heart (my beating heart)
in middle earth (at the best part)
And now my love (oh passion's fool!)
is giving birth (with pain and drool)
To a world as odd (as strange yet near)
as Frodo's is (so loved and dear)
I just don't get (if I try to make a pot)
veggie burger bizz (mine's a yucky lot!)
