The Tear Garden — Her Majesty's Trusted Food Taster lyrics

Lyrics

This one’s frivolous, it’s laughing
Laughing loudly on my tongue
I think but sadly
Sadly it’s me who gets the crumbs
I shall nibble with respect, ma’am
I shall pass on all the rest, ma’am
Lick your fingers, I shall crawl, ma’am
Crawl up to you on my knees
I get the peas, I get the peel, I get the pips, I pass the rest
A lovely service, but confess
Now did you cheat while playing chess?
Rattling sabers on your breast, ma’am
This job’s okay, but has no prospects, ma’am
I get the peas, I get the peel, I get the pips, I pass the rest
