Gravy Waltz
Savoring Love's Culinary Dance
Lyrics
Pretty mamma's in the kitchen this glorious day
Describing the mother figure in the kitchen on a wonderful day.
Smell the gravy simmerin' nearly half a mile away
Noticing the enticing aroma of cooking gravy from afar.
Lady morning glory, I say good morning to you
Greeting someone, possibly a personification of the morning or nature.
Chirpy little chickadee told me that my baby was true
Receiving assurance about the faithfulness of the speaker's partner.
Well, she really ran to get her frying pan
Describing the urgency with which the woman grabbed her cooking utensils.
When she saw me coming
Her immediate reaction upon seeing the speaker.
Gonna get a taste before it goes to waste
Expressing the eagerness to sample the food before it spoils.
This honeybee's humming
Comparing oneself to a humming honeybee, possibly indicating contentment or excitement.
Mister Weeping Willow, I'm through with all of my faults
Addressing someone, perhaps metaphorically, indicating the resolution to change.
'Cause my baby's ready to do the ever new gravy waltz
Anticipation for a joyful dance (the "gravy waltz") with the partner.
Well, she really ran to get her frying pan
Repetition of the woman's quick reaction upon the speaker's arrival.
When she saw me coming
Reiteration of the immediate response to the speaker's presence.
I'm gonna get a taste before it goes to waste
Reiterating the eagerness to taste the food before it spoils.
This honeybee's humming
Reusing the comparison of the speaker's state to that of a humming honeybee.
Mister Weeping Willow, I'm through with all of my faults
Continuation of addressing the personified "Mister Weeping Willow," indicating a resolution to change.
'Cause my baby's ready to do the ever new gravy waltz
Repeating the anticipation of the joyful "gravy waltz" with the partner.
Mister Weeping Willow, I'm through with all of my faults
Reiteration of the resolve to change, addressing "Mister Weeping Willow."
'Cause my baby is ready to do the ever new gravy
Continuation of the anticipation for the joyful dance (the "gravy waltz") with the partner.
Mmm, nice gravy, dear, waltz
A compliment about the delicious gravy and a reinforcement of the readiness to dance.
