Lyrics
- A shady nook, and if you look
A lovesick pair in sight
A dainty lunch is waiting there
But they’ve no appetite
He takes her hands, she understands
For love alone they care
By and bye, hear him sigh
“Let us try love’s bill of fare”
Chorus
First, we’ll order just a few kisses
A tender glance to tell of love’s blisses
And if you wish a dainty dish
A fond caress will do
Then the lovelight in your eyes shining
It seems so sweet when fond lovers meet
Then a heart that is true
I will order for you
At a little lunch for two
- The flowers have heard each loving word
As thro’ the dell they roam
The bright stars sigh “oh, me! oh, my!
Why don’t those two go home”
Then says the moon, “they sing a tune
That makes the sad world gay”
With a kiss, boy says this
“We will lunch here every day”
