Since the world began The girl expects the man To bring her tokens of his love Some bring bags of gold Their ladies love to hold And jewels bright as stars above
But my sweetheart's ideals Are so much higher, so much higher, And here's how I fulfill Her heart's desire…
Every night I bring her Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches
How my baby loves those Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches
I tried to win her with flowers, flowers All kinds of sweetness `Til I found out my baby's weakness
Every night she whispers Thanks for the sandwiches Thanks for the sandwiches But I fear there's something wrong
Instead of her billing and cooing All she starts doing is chewing Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches All night long
Say…
Every night I bring her Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches
How my baby loves those Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches
I tried to win her with candy, candy Ice cream and custard But how she likes hot dogs with mustard
Every night she whispers Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches But I fear there's something wrong
Listen…
Even when it was Yom Kippur, Quietly I had to slip her Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches All night long!
