Plum Sexy (Billy/Donna) Gettin' down with a little funk...

Donna · **on:** June 16, 2011, 01:56:10 AM

There was a challenge this month on a songwriters' forum to write a "fruit-based" song. I hope you get a kick out of Billy's zany musical take. If it doesn't get you grooving around the living room, you'd better check your pulse!

(if one or two of the lines sound familiar, it's because they were used in another "fruity" song a couple of years ago. Luckily, I'm allowed to plagiarise myself.

Lyrics: Donna Devine

Plum Sexy

V1
Pizza and pasta were
Meals I liked most
Sometimes my dinner was
Pastrami on toast

Then I saw you at Safeway
Standing in line
Holding your string bag
Of lemons and limes

Pre-chorus
Now fruit's in season
And that's the reason
I'm hungry all the time

Chorus
You're plum sexy
A fruitarian dream
My strawberry cream
We get acrobatic
In ways nutritious
I'm a fruit fanatic
And you're delicious

V2
I love gazing into
Those kiwi-green eyes
Sliding my hand across
Your honey-dew thighs

[And] your melon-pink lips
Are such a treat
Can't get enough of you
I'm stoned on my peach

Pre-chorus
Fruit's in season
And that's the reason
I'm hungry all the time

Chorus
You're plum sexy
A fruitarian dream
My strawberry cream
We get acrobatic
In ways nutritious
I'm a fruit fanatic
And you're delicious

Bridge
You're my mango, my papaya
The girl I adore
The apple of my eye an'
I love you to the core

Pre-chorus
Fruit's in season
And that's the reason
I'm hungry all the time
Because...

Chorus
You're plum sexy
A fruitarian dream
My strawberry cream
We get acrobatic
In ways nutritious
I'm a fruit fanatic
And you're delicious

You're plum sexy...

You're plum sexy...

Billy and Donna, that is just utra, ultra cool! Can't remember the last time I enjoyed a track so much

Back in the day, I had the pleasure of playing with the Average White Band for a few gigs and this bought those memories flooding back. Superb!

Open your mind Luke ... feel the fruit!
