If I Only Had A Leming Pie 1909 JPitt-Payne

I like ev'rything
that's good to eat,
Lamb and peas are very fine;
Turnips and cabbages
can't be beat,
lettuce salad is divine.
Lobster a la Newburgh
tastes so good
but it doesn't satisfy;
nothing is complete
that I ever eat
unless it is a leming pie.

If I only had a leming pie
then I wouldn't let a body nigh;
I'd lock myself up in a room
and start to eat it
with a table spoon,
If I had one with a frosty top,
piled up about two inches high
I'd cover it with honey
and then hide it in my tummy
if I only had a leming pie.

If I only had a leming pie
then I wouldn't let a body nigh;
I'd lock myself up in a room
and start to eat it
with a table spoon,
If I had one with a frosty top,
piled up about two inches high
I'd cover it with honey
and then hide it in my tummy
if I only had a leming pie.

At a fancy banquet
I sat down,
Leming Pie was all I had;
but it was
the largest one in town.
Given to me by my dad,
Friends asked me
how many folks were there,
to her I made this reply:
"There were only two
and I'll tell you who,
me and just the leming pie."

If I only had a leming pie
then I wouldn't let a body nigh;
I'd lock myself up in a room
and start to eat it
with a table spoon,
If I had one with a frosty top,
piled up about two inches high
I'd cover it with honey
and then hide it in my tummy
if I only had a leming pie.

If I only had a leming pie
then I wouldn't let a body nigh;
I'd lock myself up in a room
and start to eat it
with a table spoon,
If I had one with a frosty top,
piled up about two inches high
I'd cover it with honey
and then hide it in my tummy
if I only had a leming pie.
