Let’s go get a “bite to eat”
I’ll be over, be there soon
I’ll pick you up, get ready
I’ll come by …. just before noon.
Put on your Sunday best
Your lipstick and your shoes
Grab your glasses and your purse
Don’t forget your jacket, too!
Hope the cafe isn’t crowded
If we have to, we can wait
For the booth beside the window
Have to get there, can’t be late.
All the restaurants and cafes
Close early, some by two
We have to get “a move on”
Got a plan, know what to do.
We’ll take the shortcut, down the backroads
To avoid the traffic lights
We can park behind the restaurant
Have to time our trip … just right.
Have you decided what to order?
Eggs and bacon, toast and jam?
How about a roast beef sandwich
Some potatoes, beans and ham?
It’s so nice to be together
Going out and having lunch
I bet you’ll order breakfast
Got a notion, got a hunch.
Myself, I’ll have the goulash
Over noodles, hold the rice
A glass of soda with my meal
Like it with a lot of ice.
Dessert? Perhaps to take home
We both know we’ve had our fill
It was yummy, so delicious
We’ll be back , oh yes we will.
