Subject: Lyr Add: AT A LITTLE HOT DOG STAND
This song could be a textbook example of bathos. You can hear it at the Internet Archive.
Something in the air was continental. There were moonbeams caressing the sand. I was feeling young and sentimental At a little hot-dog stand. Gallantly I handed her the mustard. Then she curtseyed and I kissed her hand. Inwardly my heart was getting flustered At a little hot-dog stand. The bubbles in our soda pop just hit us like champagne. I guess that we had five or six. But somewhere in the distance came a Viennese refrain, Or was my fancy playing tricks? There and then a spark of love ignited. It was real and the feeling was grand. To our wedding breakfast you’re invited At a little hot-dog stand.
