Lyrics
Peel me a grape
Crush me some ice
Skin me a peach
Save the fuzz for my pillow
Talk to me nice
Talk to me nice
You've got to wine and dine me
Don't try to fool me, bejewel me
Either amuse me or lose me
I'm getting hungry, peel me a grape
Pop me a cork, french me a fry
Crack me a nut,bring a bowl full of bon bons
Chill me some wine, keep standing by
Just entertain me, champagne me
Show me you love me, kid glove me
Best way to cheer me, cashmere me
I'm getting hungry, peel me a grape.
Here's how to be an agreeable chap,
Love me and leave me, in luxury's lap
Hop when I holler, skip when I snap
When I say do it, jump to it
Send out for scotch, boil me a crab
Cut me a rose, make my tea with the petals
Just hang around, pick up the tab
Never out think me, just mink me
Polar bear rug me, and doncha bug me
New Thunderbird me, you heard me,
I'm getting hungry, peel me a grape (repeat from "Here's how to be...")
