The Onion - Peter Mayer

It was a perfect night for a feast delight

Won’t you come in

They all were there, the pickles and pears

From A to Zen

There was every dish from chicken to fish

And every water and wine

Cream of the crop this party won’t stop

Till the quittin' time

But who’s that stranger knockin' on the door

With a twisted grin

If this is the party for the saints

And the sinners I say

Let me in

I am the onion

I’m the spice of life but I can make you cry

I am the onion

Better peel me right 'cause I’m the spice of life

So come on come on come on don’t pass me by

Julia jam says 'here

I am sweet as cherry pie

Candy apple Alice takes

A sip from her chalice says

'I like the sweet life

Here comes Ted Mr. Lettuce Head

With his artichoke heart

Gina jelly bean she’s making a scene

She’s so state of the art

Just when things are going fine

The band’s about to play

In comes the joker the big cigar smoker says

'I got something to say

I am the onion

I’m the spice of life but I can make you cry

I am the onion

You got an appetite you better treat me right

So come on come on come on don’t pass me by

Out in the garden

Tom tomato and asparagus

Discuss how very good this world could be

If all the others could just see how good we are

If only they were just as beautiful as me

Just when things are going fine

The band’s about to begin

In comes the joker the big cigar smoker says

I am the onion

I’m the spice of life but I can make you cry

I am the onion

Better treat me right I’m going to make you cry

So come on come on come on don’t pass me by

I am the onion

I am the onion

I am the onion

So come on come

On come on don’t pass me by
