Canzone: Spoonful
Spoonful
Could fill spoons full of diamonds,
Could fill spoons full of gold.
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Will satisfy my soul.
Men lies about it.
Some of them cries about it.
Some of them dies about it.
Everything’s a-fightin’ about the spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
Could fill spoons full of coffee,
Could fill spoons full of tea.
Just a little spoon of your precious love;
Is that enough for me?
Men lies about it.
Some of them cries about it.
Some of them dies about it.
Everything’s a-fightin’ about the spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
Could fill spoons full of water,
Save them from the desert sands.
But a little spoon of your forty-five
Saved you from another man.
Men lies.
Some of them cries about it.
Some of them dies.
Everything’s a-fightin’ about it.
Everything’s a-cryin’ about it.
Everything’s a-diein’ about it.
Everything’s a-cryin’ about it.
Everything’s a-liein’ about it.
Little old, little old spoonfull.
Die’n about it
Cryin about it
That spoon, that spoon
Little old, little old spoonfull
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonfull.
Everything’s a-diein’ about it.
