Put some gravy

 

(The Ronettes “Be my baby” cover)

Lyrics by Riccardo Piroddi

 

Looking forward the day I
came to your house,

cause you told me come to me, boy, I will bake a grouse.
So you have spent all morning,
plucking the bird,  adorning
the dish you put in the oven
with the grouse for me.

So will you please (put some, put some gravy)
a tiny bit, please (add some, add some gravy)
say you will put it (dress with, with some gravy)
the grouse is too dray (put some, put some gravy)
wha-oh-oh-oh.

My uncle said to me once
when you bake a grouse

cover it with streaky bacon
it will be its spouse.

The fat will melt on top then,
no dressing all around, man,
but she didn’t’ have the bacon and just poured some olive oil.

So will you please (put some, put some gravy)
a tiny bit, please (add some, add some gravy)
say you will put it (dress with, with some gravy)
the grouse is too dray (put some, put some gravy)
wha-oh-oh-oh.

So will you please (put some, put some gravy)
a tiny bit, please (add some, add some gravy)
say you will put it (dress with, with some gravy)
the grouse is too dray (put some, put some gravy)
wha-oh-oh-oh.

Put some, put some gravy (I beg you, please)
add some, add some gravy (a tiny bit, please)
dress with, with some gravy (the grouse is too dry)
wha-oh-oh-oh.
(Repeat and fade)
