FAWM 2020 #1: Fancy Pickles
Tip of the hat to the various incarnations of the Hokum Boys, and in particular to Bo Chatmon / Carter, "the master of the single entendre."
Lyrics
Won't you fancy one of my fancy pickles?
Spare a glance to the one which your fancy tickles?
Give us a chance if your fancy's not too fickle,
And fancy my fancy pickles.
Jump right in! The flavor's worth your nickle.
It's no sin to savor the taste of a pickle,
Wipe your chin when something starts to trickle:
Won't you fancy my fancy pickles?
Feel the thrill of a kosher dill,
Put to workin' that sweet, sweet gherkin.
Everything goes better with a bread and butter,
The brine's divine! Say you'll be mine!
Won't you fancy one of my fancy pickles?
Spare a glance to the one which your fancy tickles?
Give us a chance if your fancy's not too fickle,
And fancy my fancy pickles.
