I wonder if anyone might know the lyrics to "Please Don't Touch Me Plums" as sung by Goldie Hawn in the film, "Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox". Does anyone know if it is an authentic music hall song or just one written for the film? |

Wouldn't you just know it! I was still watching the film while I was posting this thread. Goldie had already sung the song once through and some snatches of it later on. Moments after I hit the "Submit" button, she sang the song once again, s-l-o-w-l-y. It would have been so simple to have written down the lyrics at that rate. But she was finished before I could find writing materials! |

PLEASE DON'T TOUCH MY PLUMS (Sammy Cahn, Charles Fox, and Melvin Frank) Me mummy had a fruiterer The finest ever seen His fruit was fresh and firm and hard And for the most part clean The ladies came from far and near To sample his deploy But when the mums reached for his plums The fruiterer would cry OH You can touch me berries But you must not touch me plums You can touch me cherries But be careful with those thumbs Squeeze me limes a thousand times From now till winter comes I beg you each enjoy a peach But please don't touch me plums He was very very sensitive about his bloomin' plums A titled lady came one day She had a strange request She'd promised some plum puddin' To a very royal guest I understand your plums sir Are inordinately large I'll try a few and if it's true I don't care what you charge NOW You can touch me apples Me bananas and me pears These nectarines, these tangerines And all me other wares The Queen's own guard could ride up hard With sabres, plumes and drums And I'd salute. Say have a fruit But please don't touch me plums He was very very sensitive about his bloomin' plums OH You can grope me cantaloupe And I won't hardly mind Ask to stroke me artichoke Or anything you find Act like felons with me melons And we'll still be chums Try some of those. Try some of these I beg you all on bended knees I've got so much for you to squeeze So please don't touch me plums. |
