Jay Scott : Daily Whale : archive : 2001 : 16 June 2001

CHORUS: Buy my lunch
Buy my evening dress
Farewell watercress
I think I’m off the diet.
Buy my lunch
I will acquiesce
Hello sweet largesse
I think I’m off the diet.

I’m through with romaine
I’m through with leeks
I’m into truffles
And fine antiques.
And what’s the reason
That it’s all free?
My loving lunchmeat
Is feeding me.

CHORUS: Buy my lunch....

clue:

To the tune of “Bye Bye Love” by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. This version is modeled after Simon and Garfunkel’s rendition on A Bridge Over Troubled Water.
