Peel Me A Grape - Shirley Horn

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 me 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 standin' 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…

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, don’t bug me

New Thunderbird me, you heard me

I’m getting hungry, peel me a grape

Slowly

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»…

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, don’t bug me

New Thunderbird me, you heard me

I’m getting hungry

Peel me a grape

Peel me

Peel me a grape
