DIANA KRALL LYRICS - Peel Me A Grape

Dear Reader, do you know the first time I ever heard the line "Peel me a grape"?

It was in an old Mae West movie, I think it was set in the Yukon - Diamond Lil, maybe?

In the movie she had a serving-woman named Beulah with her.
She had just devastated some man, and, as he staggered out the door with this bleeding heart gushing all over the floor (figuratively, of course! I gore.), she turns to this wise-eyed woman and says, "Beulah, peel me a grape!"

What a line!

I just heard Krall sing this song on my car radio this afternoon.
Aaaaaahhh, MMMMmmmm.... so delicious!
Where I come from, we've got a Jazz station.
I love it.

Could Hubs ever become so wild about me as to peel me even an apple?
