The Lyrics
So, béchamel or roux
At dinner time?
Which one to plop atop the stew
When we're dinin'?
And which wine in
The crystal decanter
Of cut glass that's ground,
Dandily faceted,
Prismatically refracting light around?
The LaRochelle will do,
So pour that wine,
It's fine.
And now you
Say the roux
We should do
For the stew, in which cow,
Pullet, and hare
Swim as in a sea
Of chumless chow-
der. Let's eat!
So what the hell? The roux.
Now pour the wine!
[fade on sounds of noshing and sloshing]
At dinner time?
Which one to plop atop the stew
When we're dinin'?
And which wine in
The crystal decanter
Of cut glass that's ground,
Dandily faceted,
Prismatically refracting light around?
The LaRochelle will do,
So pour that wine,
It's fine.
And now you
Say the roux
We should do
For the stew, in which cow,
Pullet, and hare
Swim as in a sea
Of chumless chow-
der. Let's eat!
So what the hell? The roux.
Now pour the wine!
[fade on sounds of noshing and sloshing]

Highly poetic... loved the 'Dandily faceted' and cleverjest of 'For the stew, in which cow,
Pullet, and hare
Swim as in a sea
Of chumless chow-
der.' Absolutely top shelf ingredients Mr. Barry.
elegantly written
