Food Songs or Love Songs?

There were some posts with no lyrics. It should be corrected.

Recently I spot on a post "It seems there are no songs about barbecue. How sad". Fortunately there is a song about barbecue, see below.

The topic of food in songs is discussed also in 500 Songs About Food and Food songs, for example. It would a great project to collect lyrics of such songs... :)

Anyway, most of "food" songs are just love songs, as usually :)

I heard and loved "Pickin' a Chickin" by Eve Boswell before I read the above mentioned post.

Lyrics
Pickin' a Chickin
Words and music - Paddy Roberts, Derek Bernfield & Garfield De Mortimer
[1955]

Come to the barbecue and sit by my side
We couldn't choose a better night if we tried
Can't you imagine what a thrill it will be
Pickin' a chicken with me

It's so romantic, the moon up above
Is extra bright on a night such as this
Pullin' a wishbone with someone you love
Is almost certain to end with a kiss

So come to the barbecue, my darling my dear
I'm so in love with you and when you are near
I get a feeling that forever you'll be
Pickin' a chicken with me

It's so romantic, the moon up above
Is extra bright on a night such as this,
Pullin' a wishbone with someone you love
Is almost certain to end with a kiss

So come to the barbecue, my darling my dear,
I'm so in love with you and when you are near
I get a feeling that forever you'll be
Pickin' a chicken with me

Pickin' a chicken with me
Pickin' a chicken with me
