James and the Giant Peach movie - Eating The Peach lyrics

rate me

<br>

I've eaten many strange and scrumptious dishes in my time<br>

Like jellied bugs and curried slugs and earwigs cooked in slime<br>

And mice with rice is very nice<br>

When they're roasted in their prime<br>

But don't forget to sprinkle them with just a pinch of grime<br>

<br>

I'm crazy 'bout mosquitos on a piece of buttered toast<br>

And pickled spines of porcupines<br>

And then a great big roast<br>

And dragon's flesh, quite old, not fresh<br>

It costs a buck at most<br>

It comes to you in barrels if you order it by post<br>

(It comes to you in barrels if you order it by post)<br>

<br>

For dinner on my birthday shall I tell you what I chose?<br>

Hot noodles made of poodles on a slice of garden hose<br>

And a rather smelly jelly<br>

Made of armadillo's toes<br>

The jelly is delicious, but you have to hold your nose<br>

<br>

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach<br>

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach<br>

<br>

I crave the tasty tentacles of octopi for tea<br>

I like hot dogs, but I love hot frogs<br>

And surely you'll agree<br>

A plate of soil with engine oil's a super recipe<br>

(Recipe)<br>

I hardly need to mention that it's practically free<br>

<br>

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach<br>

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach<br>

We hardly need to mention that it's practically free<br>

<br>

Now comes, my fellow travelers, the burden of my speech<br>

These foods are rare beyond compare<br>

And some right out of reach<br>

But there's no doubt I'd go without<br>

A million plates of each<br>

For one small mite<br>

(One small mite)<br>

One tiny bite<br>

(Tiny bite)<br>

Of this fantastic peach!<br>

<br>

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach<br>

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach<br>

This fantastic peach!<br>

<br>
