CUTLERY (A LOVE STORY)
John Soeder
© 2010

Hey diddle diddle
The cow jumped over the moon
Life was swell
But it all went to hell
When the fork ran away with the spoon

Now the spoon was a lovely lady
And the fork was a man of means
They say the whole thing started over
A plate of rice and beans

I’m a liar and a cheat and a scoundrel
But I ain’t never hurt no one
What I do I do for money
What I do I do for love
But most of all I do it for fun
O Senorita
When I’m food for the worms
Do me the honor
Of speaking of me
In favorable terms

Now the sharpest knife in the drawer
Was the knife himself you see
When the fork and the spoon
Left him there all alone
He said
Vengeance belongs to me

When it comes to love you can’t fork it over
You can’t dish it out with a spoon
It cuts like a knife
So run for your life
Love is lovely
But love can be cruel

I’m a liar and a cheat and a scoundrel
But I ain’t never hurt no one
What I do I do for money
What I do I do for love
But most of all I do it for fun
O Senorita
When I’m food for the worms
Do me the honor
Of speaking of me
In favorable terms

Now the fork and the spoon were spooning
By the light of the silvery moon
The knife stepped out from the shadows
Laughing like a loon

And the knife flashed in the moonlight
And the fork tried to run away with the spoon
Cut to the chase
With a smile on his face
The knife said
Hey spoon,
Fork, you
Know

I’m a liar and a cheat and a scoundrel
But I ain’t never hurt no one
What I do I do for money
What I do I do for love
But most of all I do it for fun
O Senorita
When I’m food for the worms
Do me the honor
Of speaking of me
In favorable terms
