Meal

Either the word "meal" or the name of a meal: dinner, lunch, breakfast, brunch, banquet, picnic...





COOL COINCIDENCE! My friend Wolfgang sent this photo while I was sleeping, of his German breakfast:

Here's to the ladies who lunch
Aren't they a gas?

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

There's nothing I can do
as I realize with fright
the spider man is having me
for dinner tonight...

Beggar at the feast
Master of the dance
Life is easy pickings
If you grab your chance

Les Miserables
(does feast count?)

Margaret said...

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?

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!

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.

Nibbling on bacon

Sam says to Suzie
honey would you please be my Mrs?
Suzie says yes with her kisses...

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.

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...

Supper time

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

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.

Sandra Dodd said...

No, not generic eating, but names of meals:
"Either the word "meal" or the name of a meal: dinner, lunch, breakfast, brunch, banquet, picnic..."

Margaret said...

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)

Sugar in the morning
Sugar in the evening
Sugar at suppertime
Be my little sugar and love me all the time

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They've got to have them in Texas
Because everyone's a millionaire
