If he’s content.  
With a vegetable love.  
That would certainly not suit me,  
Why, what  
a most particularly.  
Pure young man.  
This pure young man must be.

Call any vegetable Call it by name  
Call one today When you get off the train  
Call any vegetable And the chances are good  
That the vegetable will respond to you.

I like pickled onions, I like piccalili,  
Pickled cabbage is all right  
With a little cold beef on a Sunday night.  
I can go tomatoes, but what I do prefer  
Is a little bit of cucum, little bit of cucum,  
Little bit of cucumber!

You can go out to eat & that’s for sure  
But it’s nothin’ a homegrown tomato won’t cure  
Put `em in a salad, put `em in a stew  
You can make your very own tomato juice  
Eat `em with egss, eat `em with gravy  
Eat `em with beans, pinto or navy Put `em on the site put `em in the middle  
Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle

Go tell the marines!

Crème tangerine and Montelimar  
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart  
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it’s good news  
But you have to have them all pulled out  
After the Savoy truffle

Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart  
I feel your taste all the time we’re apart  
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues  
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out  
After the Savoy truffle…

Savoy, the home of sweet romance,  
Savoy, it wins you with a glance,  
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance.

Your old form just like a clinging vine,  
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine,  
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine.

She’ll be my mirror  
Reflect what I am  
A loser and a winner  
The king of Siam  
And my Siamese twin  
Alone on the river  
Mirror kisses  
Mirror kisses

Lips like sugar  
Sugar kisses  
Lips like sugar  
Sugar kisses

She had, uh oh, kisses sweeter than wine.

When I was a young man and never been kissed,  
I got to thinking it over, what I had missed,  
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then, and then,  
O Lordy, I kissed her again.

She had, uh oh, kisses sweeter than wine.

Think of me  
Think of me fondly  
When we’ve said goodbye,  
Remember me  
Once in a while,  
Please promise me you’ll try.

I hope when you think of me way down the line  
You can’t find one good thing to say  
And I hope that if I found the strength to walk out  
You’d stay the hell out of my way

And it tastes like kisses, kisses, kisses  
And it tastes like kisses  
But I’ll be right here til the end of it  
You stay in bed and I run out of the door  
It took me so long to get up off the floor  
I always bite off more than I can chew  
But Im hungry without you  
Dream like dreamers and we  
Need like users and we  
Hate like Hitlers and we  
Win like losers and we  
Cry like children and we  
Stray like preachers and we  
Lie like lovers and we  
Pray like sinners  
And it tastes like kisses, kisses, kisses  
And it tastes like kisses

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road  
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go  
So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why  
It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time  
It’s something unpredictable, but in the end is right,  
I hope you had the time of your life.

[On a Bunnymen roll…]

Hold it in the light  
And see right through it  
For God’s sake  
Make a decision  
Take it for a walk  
And hold it hold it  
Pin it on the wall  
And fasten onto  
Move into the bathroom  
Oh yes, oh yes  
Do what must be done  
And don’t say maybe

This is the one for the money  
This is the one for the trees  
This is the one called Heaven  
And this is the one for me

Nothing ever happens

It’s Christmas in Heaven  
The snow falls from the sky  
But it’s nice and warm, and everyone  
Looks smart and wears a tie  
It’s Christmas in Heaven  
There’s great films on TV  
‘The Sound of Music’ twice an hour  
And ‘Jaws’ one, two, and three

It was Christmas in prison  
And the food was real good  
We had turkey and pistols  
Carved out of wood

It was Christmas Day in the workhouse  
The merriest day of the year  
The paupers and the prisoners  
Were all assembled there

In came the Christmas pudding  
When a voice that shattered glass  
Said, “We don’t want your Christmas pudding  
So stick it there with the rest of the unwanted presents”

Because it’s Christmas time, Christmas time,  
Yes it’s merry Christmas time  
Everybody stand up tall and cheer  
Our children will be coming home in plastic bags I fear  
Then we’ll know it’s Christmas time this year  
Thank you Mr. President for your kind words and deeds  
There’s just one thing I’d like for you to hear  
Take this war and shove it up your Crawford, Texas ass  
And then you’ll know it’s Christmas time this year
