Food SONGS?

[Suzanne]

Right now on the radio is "Peel Me A Grape," a song that Blossom Dearie made famous (yes, that's her real name!). What are some other "food songs" you can think of? My list, mostly from jazz, and some old R&R, includes:
When My Baby Fixes Eggplant
C'mon 'a' My house (Rosemary Clooney)
almost anything by Slim Galliard, such as "Dunkin' Bagel"
Sweet Kentucky Ham (Dave Frishberg)
Saturday Night Fish Fry (Louis Jordan?)
A Rose and a Baby Ruth
Gimme a Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer
We Saved the Bones for Henry Jones, 'cause Henry don't eat no Meat.

What others can people think of? (Titles only) Any language is okay, but please provide translation into English for those who are not multi-lingual.

How about Sweeney Todd singing the song about the meat pies..."Try a piece of priest, only fat where it sat. Trouble is, you can only get it on Sundays. The clergy is really too coarse and too mealy."

[marmalady]

"Let's call the whole thing off" - Cole Porter ------you know, that's the 'you say
toe-mae-to, and I say to-mah-to' song!

"The Good Ship Lollipop"

Red, red wine---------oops, sorry, you said food.

[Suzanne]

Um, TheBigHat, maybe we'd better leave Sweeney Todd out of this ("Them pussycats is quick.). A little to risky/risque for some folks here. What about a song from another Sondheim, "Into the Woods" -- anything there?

Another Slim Galliard: "Everybody Eats When They Come to My House" (Have a tomato, Plato; have a banana, Anna; have some baloney, Monie ... everybody eats when they come to my house)
And there's a bossa nova, "O Pato" ("The Duck"). Thank you, PDE, my SO.

I know you said titles only, but I can't resist Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies - Best Pies in London they are

"Guess what this is!"
"It's Piccolo player!"
"How can you tell?"
"It's piping hot!"

Other ideas:

Not a song, but the title of a great album (remember when they were called albums?) "Goat's Head Soup" by the Rolling Stones

"The Lord Bless Charlie Mopps" -Do drinking songs count?

"Slow Food" (No really, it's true) by Greg Brown

And to see a whole mess of titles, go here

"On top of spaghetti...."

From Rent (broadway musical) the song La Vie Boheme:

Waiter: "... So that's four miso soup, four seaweed salad,
two tofu dog platters, and one pasta with meatless balls..."
Maureen: "Ugh"
Tom: "It tastes the same"
Maureen: "If you close your eyes"
Waiter: "And thirteen orders of fries, is that it here?"
All: Wine and beer!!
