Recipe Song Copyright © Richard Whiting 2010

You are what you eat.
Sometimes I’m moody, so throw in some crab,
Sometimes I’m cold, so a dash of ice-cream;
My jokes are stale, so stir in some cheese;
Sometimes I’m bitter, so add a pinch of salt.
Crab, ice-cream, cheese and salt;
A recipe to make people sick!
Looking across the table into your eyes,
Feeling the warmth of your hand;
Food maintains the body,
Love sustains the soul.
And…
If music be the food of love
Don’t listen to me sing.
