Verse 1:

Peel me a grape,
Crush me some ice,
Skim me a peach,
Shave the fuzz for my pillow.

Chorus:

Talk to me nice,
Talk to me nice,
You got to wow me,
Dial me.
Don't try to fool me.

Bridge:

Be either amuse me or lose me,
I'm getting hungry.

Verse 2:

Peel me a grape,
Pop me a cork,
French me a fry,
Crack me a nut.

Bring a bowl full of bonbons,
Chill me some wine,
Keep standing by,
Just entertain me.

Champagne me,
Show me you love me,
Kick love me,
Best way to cheer me.

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.

Final Instructions:

Just hang around,
Pick up the tab,
And never outthink me,
Just make me pull a bell.

Outro:

Don't bug me,
No Thunderbird me.
You burn me,
I'm getting hungry.

Feel me agree,
Slow is how to be an agreeable chair.
