07 Jul 97 - 09:28 PM (#8183) Subject: Lyr Add: SANDWICHES (Bob King) From: RS This song is done by Fred Penner on his "Collections" CD. The credit under the title (on the cover listing) is to Bob King / Forest Group Music Publishing. SANDWICHES (Bob King) CHORUS: Sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine. I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time. I eat them for my supper, and I eat them for my lunch. If I had a hundred sandwiches I'd eat them all at once. 1. I'm roaming and a trav'ling and wandering along, And if you care to listen I will sing a happy song. I will not ask a favour and I will not ask a fee, But if you have yourself a sandwich, won't you give a bite to me? 2. Once I went to England, I visited the Queen; I swear she was the grandest lady that I'd ever seen. I told she was beautiful and could not ask for more; She handed me a sandwich and threw me out the door. 3. Once I met a pretty girl, the fairest in the land; Young men in the county were asking for her hand. They'd offer her the moon and they'd offer her the sea; I offered her a sandwich and she said she'd marry me. 4. A sandwich may be egg or cheese or even peanut butter, But they all taste so good to me it really doesn't matter. Jam or ham or cucumber, any kind will do; I like sandwiches - how about you?
