"Pineapple Pete" lyrics
Johnny Mercer & The Pete Moore Orchestra Lyrics
Pineapple Pete with the Luau seat
He loves to sit and he loves to eat
The sweetest guy you could hope to meet
But it seems that his dinner goes, to his seat
Pineapple Pete started out on Poi
And when he started did he enjoy
Before he grew to a full grown boy
He was one-quarter avoir, half dupois
He went on to grapple, with Philadelphia Scrapple
With meatloaf and mustard, and cantaloupe and custard
He ate so many starches he flattened both his arches
And now no body's able, to pry him from the table
Pineapple Pete, has become so fat
He's got to stay seated where he's at
He can't dig you, so hurry out and meet
The worlds-famous eater, with the enormous seater
Pineapple Pete
While most folks are restin, he's chompin and digestin
While they're busy surfin, he's arfin and he's erfin
When they say Aloha, he hollars out some moah
A mouth full of papaya, prevents him sayin Hi-ya
Need I repeat, never watch his weight
He keeps his eye on his neighbors plate
And if you turn or you miss a beat
Man your 10 ounces thinner
Cause who's got your dinner?
Pineapple Pete
He loves to sit and he loves to eat
The sweetest guy you could hope to meet
But it seems that his dinner goes, to his seat
Pineapple Pete started out on Poi
And when he started did he enjoy
Before he grew to a full grown boy
He was one-quarter avoir, half dupois
He went on to grapple, with Philadelphia Scrapple
With meatloaf and mustard, and cantaloupe and custard
He ate so many starches he flattened both his arches
And now no body's able, to pry him from the table
Pineapple Pete, has become so fat
He's got to stay seated where he's at
He can't dig you, so hurry out and meet
The worlds-famous eater, with the enormous seater
Pineapple Pete
While most folks are restin, he's chompin and digestin
While they're busy surfin, he's arfin and he's erfin
When they say Aloha, he hollars out some moah
A mouth full of papaya, prevents him sayin Hi-ya
Need I repeat, never watch his weight
He keeps his eye on his neighbors plate
And if you turn or you miss a beat
Man your 10 ounces thinner
Cause who's got your dinner?
Pineapple Pete
