"Peel Me A Grape" lyrics

"Peel Me A Grape"
(originally by Anita O'Day)

Peel me a grape, crush me some ice
Skin me a peach, save the fuzz for my pillow
Broach me up wrong, talk to me nice

You got to wine me and dine me
Don't try to fool me, bejewel me
Either amuse me or lose me
I'm gettin' hungry, peel me a grape

Pop me a cork, french me a fry
Crack me a nut, bring me 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 gettin' 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
Best way to own me, cologne me
New Thunderbird me, you heard me
I'm gettin' hungry

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
Best way to own me, cologne me
New Thunderbird me, you heard me
I'm gettin' hungry, peel me a grape

Peel me a grape
Please peel me a grape
Peel me a
