Story behind the song
Based on a recipe from 36 Delightful Recipes to Perk Up Your Meals published by the Doughnut Corporation of America in 1947, this is my latest song about unusual recipes. Its being marketed to a "meat and potatoes man" caught my funnybone.
Lyrics
36 Delightful Recipes to Perk Up Your Meals
1
Here’s a crisp, fresh salad,
That will cause any “meat and potatoes” man
To change his mind whoa-whoa-whoa change his mind!
Stew four prunes for each person;
Pit the prunes and stuff with cottage cheese.
‘Cuz it’s healthy whoa-whoa-whoa Oh it’s healthy!
CHORUS:
You’re gonna change your man, he’s gonna be so glad
With a Donut Prune Salad today. a Donut Prune Salad today.
If the prunes are stewed, he’s gonna know what’s true
When you dress it up with may-yay-on-aise,
Dress it up with may-yay-on-aise
2
Place two donuts on a lettuce leaf;
Fill the donut centers with cottage cheese,
Put it in the hole whoa-whoa-whoa in the hole!
Then top each donut with a stuffed prune.
Place two whole pitted prunes
Beside the donuts whoa-whoa-whoa right next door
whoa-whoa-whoa beside the donuts right next door.
Serve it with mayonnaise,
Make it true, make it real, Make it true make it real
Make it with mayonnaise.
CHORUS
Thirty-six Delightful Recipes and this is just one
