if you don’t like to eat, handsome boy...

I’d like to know everything 
A jazz artist knows, starting with the song, 
“Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.” 

Like to make some songs myself: 
“Goodbye Rickshaw,” 
“Goodbye Lemon Drop,” 
“Goodbye Rendezvous.” 

Or maybe even blues: 

If you fall in love with me, I’ll make you pancakes 
All morning. If you fall in love with me 
I’ll make you pancakes all night. 
If you don’t like pancakes 
We’ll go to the creperie. If you don’t like pancakes 
We’ll go to the creperie. 
If you don’t like to eat, handsome boy, 
Don’t you hang around with me. 

On second thought, I’d rather find 
The fanciest music and hear all of it. 

I’d rather love somebody 
And say his name to myself every day 
Until I fall apart.
