AMAAM14 Paradise A La Carte 1915 'A Maid And A Myth'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 12 May 2005

When I was just a little bit of boy
I often used to have a dream
of shooting swarms of flying apple pies
and swimming in a lake of peach ice cream,
but as I approach maturity
the feeling still is there
the truest friend I ever had
was Mister Bill O' Fare.

I have an awful hunger
I just can't get enough to eat
I'd sell my soul for one square meal,
If I could relieve that hollow feeling
I should like to find an island
made of juicy sirloin steak.

French fried potatoes a growing on the trees,
strawberry shortcake floating on the seas.
Then I could eat just as much as I pleased,
I'd call that Paradise!

[Dance:]

I once was waiter in a restaurant
by way of pay I got my board
but soon the boss
came 'round to me and said
that feeding me he could not quite afford,
it was gently that he broached the fact,
I should not hold the belief
he was a Salvation Army or a Belgian Relief.

I have an awful hunger
I just can't get enough to eat
I'd sell my soul for one square meal,
If I could relieve that hollow feeling
I should like to find an island
made of juicy sirloin steak.

French fried potatoes a growing on the trees,
strawberry shortcake floating on the seas.
Then I could eat just as much as I pleased,
I'd call that Paradise!

[Dance:]
