Smorgasbord (*)
download
(Tepper
/ Bennett)
Information:
Elvis sang Smorgasbord in his 1966 movie Spinout.
In the film he changed the lyrics. Instead of "I'll take the dish I please
and please the dish I take", Elvis sang "I'll take the dish I please and
take the please I dish". The instrumental track was recorded at Radio
Recorders on February 17, 1966. Elvis's vocal track was recorded at a later
date. Smorgasbord was written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett.
Lyrics:
2. Some like their women short, some like them tall
I'll take’em any size 'cause I love’em all
1. I'm just wild about smorgasbord, I got a cravin' for smorgasbord
A little kiss here, a little kiss there, that's smorgasbord
Mmm
Some take just apple pie, some take just cake
I'll take the dish I please, I please the dish I
take
1. (repeat)
Some like just southern belles, they got a one
track mind
I go for all the belles except the wedding kind
1. (repeat)
2. (repeat)
I'll take the dish I please, I please the dish I take

Swedish word that serves to describe a typical Scandinavian meal, where
several cold and hot dishes are served. This serves to understand what Elvis
means in this song!
