Subject: RE: Origins: Alouette - various versions
While we're into Alouette and its variants, this pub version is addressed by a male soloist to a young lady who has been persuaded to stand on (e.g.) a chair.
Alouette, lovely Alouette, Alouette, you're the one for me. How I love your plates of meat (touches the girl's feet) How I love your plates of meat Plates of meat Plates of meat Ah!
and so on, cumulatively working up through ham & eggs, chips & peas etc. to Barnet Fair.
