What! No Spinach? 1926

There's a nut named Willie White
up the street from me
and he has an appetite
that's freaky as can be.
When he sees a restaurant,
dashes thru' the door,
they bring him shad,
then he gets mad,
and you should hear him roar:

What! No spinach?
Don't tell me that.
What! No spinach?
Hand me my hat
I don't care for onions
they hurt my bunions
why don't you try 'em on the cat...
Oh! I wish that the fish
that you gave me
were down at the bottom of the sea!
Gee!
What! No spinach?
What! No spinach?
That's the "finnitch" of me.

What! No spinach?
Don't tell me that.
What! No spinach?
Hand me my hat
I don't care for onions
they hurt my bunions
why don't you try 'em on the cat...
Oh! I wish that the fish
that you gave me
were down at the bottom of the sea!
Gee!
What! No spinach?
What! No spinach?
That's the "finnitch" of me.

All the waiters lose their nerve
soon as he comes in,
ev'rything they have they serve
but nothing pleases him.
No one seems to understand
what it's all about
but ev'ryone starts into run
when he begins to shout:

What! No spinach?
Don't tell me that.
What! No spinach?
Hand me my hat
I don't care for onions
they hurt my bunions
why don't you try 'em on the cat...
Oh! I wish that the fish
that you gave me
were down at the bottom of the sea!
Gee!
What! No spinach?
What! No spinach?
That's the "finnitch" of me.

What! No spinach?
Don't tell me that.
What! No spinach?
Hand me my hat
I don't care for onions
they hurt my bunions
why don't you try 'em on the cat...
Oh! I wish that the fish
that you gave me
were down at the bottom of the sea!
Gee!
What! No spinach?
What! No spinach?
That's the "finnitch" of me.
