YOU'RE MY DISH

from 1937 review "Merry-Go-Round of 1938"
sung by Joy Hodges & Beverley Ann Welch
(Jimmy McHugh (m) Harold Adamson (l) 1937)

as recorded by
Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm
September 7th 1937 New York


You're my dish, mm-mm-mmm,
You're a plate of peaches and cream.
You're like the angel cake
Mother used to make,
What a heavenly dream!

You're the well known pudding of Yorkshire,
Famous pastry of France.
Tantalizing,
Appetizing
Blue plate of romance!

You're my dish, yum-yum-yum,
You're a combination of rye
And claret soup to me;
Lovin' you could be
Just as easy as pie!

You could be my regular diet
'Cause I think you're simply delish.
You're my spicing,
Sugar icing,
You're my favourite dish!

(Come on with the dish, bring it on!)

(Ah mercy, it's sizzling!)

Oh you dish, yes yes,
Those combination on rye
And claret soup to me;
Oh lovin' you would be
Just as easy as pie!

You could be my regular diet
'Cause I think you're so delish.
Oh spicin',
Icin',
Sugar spicin',
You're my favourite dish!
