And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's?
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Deep Blue Something
Here's to the ladies who lunch
Aren't they a gas?
(Stephen Sondheim, "Company")
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam
Going on a picnic, leaving right away
If it doesn't rain, we'll stay all day
Raffi
There's nothing I can do
as I realize with fright
the spider man is having me
for dinner tonight...
---The Cure
Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a wonderful time today
"The Teddy Bears' Picnic"
Beggar at the feast
Master of the dance
Life is easy pickings
If you grab your chance
Les Miserables
(does feast count?)
Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen
(I'm guessing feast means the feast day, not that he is looking at food, so perhaps it shouldn't count)
The food was great
the tree plugged in
the meal had gone without a hitch
til Timmy turned to Amber and said
is it true that you're a witch?
Dar Williams
The Christians and the Pagans
Workin' double time on the seduction line,
She was one of a kind an' she was mine all mine!
Not another applause,
Just another cause,
She made a meal out of me
An' come back for more!
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
I could never weary of
Looking at you, looking at you
All through life, my deary
Looking at you, looking at you
Wish I was able to make you say,
"I do"
And sit across the breakfast table
Looking at you, looking at you.
(Irving Berlin)
Feast is okay. "Tea" is okay when it means a meal.
---------------------------------------
In their master's chamber they gather for the feast
"Hotel California," The Eagles
She's got a one-a-day lunch
Going for all the bunch
Hot Lunch from Fame
Nibbling on bacon
chewing on cheese
Sam says to Suzie
honey would you please be my Mrs?
Suzie says yes with her kisses...
---"Muskrat Love", Capt. & Tennille
The man and the woman remain in contact
Let's say it's for the child
With disagreements about the meaning
Of the marriage contract
Conversations hard and wild
But from time to time he makes her laugh
She cooks a meal or two
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true.
(Paul Simon, "Train in the Distance", from his incredible album "Negotiations and Love Songs"....if you don't know it, you should. What an artist!)
You're my turkey dinner and you're my heart's desire.
You're my one reason for living, one reason or Thanksgiving.
Turkey Dinner by The Hoodoo Gurus
I've got supper in the oven
A good womans lovin'
Montgomery Gentry
I've got some new for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone...
The Eagles
Supper time
I should set the table cause it's
Supper time
Somehow I'm not able cause that
Man of mine
Ain't coming home no more
(Irving Berlin)
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
"Lady is a tramp" Rogers & Hart
Make way for old Dan Tucker
He's too late to get his supper
Supper's over and dinner's cookin'
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin'
Think about those offers
Your future with Audrey...
(Come on, come on) <---backup singers)
I think it's suppertime
Little Shop of Horrors, Audrey II to Seymour
Songs that are clearly about a meal (sitting at a table and eating etc.) but don't use the word are not ok, right? I have three.
No, not generic eating, but names of meals:
"Either the word "meal" or the name of a meal: dinner, lunch, breakfast, brunch, banquet, picnic..."
Look at the one who is dressed like the pope
He's the potato head king
Look at the one who is tied up in rope
He won't remember a thing
Some (??) some walk, some crawl
One tried to attack a sweet barbie doll
Who jumped out of a cake at Mr. Potato Head's picnic
-- Same tune as teddy bear's picnic. No clue who wrote it but I believe it was played on Harlan Ellison's radio program a long time ago and it enchanted my mother which is how I know about it,
(k - just looked it up as I thought it might appeal to some and it's a little obscure. http://cdbaby.com/cd/terrell plays 2 minutes of it. It's by a new mexico artist)
I drink sweet wine for breakfast
I slept but an hour or so
"Museum"
Donovan
It's suppertime.
Yeah, it's suppertime.
Oh, it's sup-sup suppertime very best time of day.
Snoopy sings it in You're A Good Man Charlie Brown
