Dreaded Spoon Lyrics - The Essential Bruce Hornsby - Bruce Hornsby

Here we go to the Tasty Freeze 

Or maybe Dairy Queen 

If so, then better lock the glove 

There's something in there the old man loves 

To break it out with a muffled shout 

A shout of glee and it comes out 

The dreaded spoon, the dreaded spoon 

Lord help us, it's the dreaded spoon 

Well, hide your cookies and hide your cakes 

What he giveths, away he takes 

He keep on scoopin' till you taste just great 

So better not turn your head away 

It's gone, gone, gone 

They're gone, gone, gone 

To the dreaded spoon 

Says he doesn't want a thing 

He's not hungry, he says with a tiny wink 

We come back with a big ol' cone 

And he makes his move and we all moan 

Wearing out your ice cream cake 

Spilling sprinkles in his wake 

The dreaded spoon, the dreaded spoon 

Lord help us, the dreaded spoon 

Well, hide your cakes and Sunday pies 

Apple fritters and curly fries 

Nuts and cherries piled so high 

Just one swipe and it's say goodbye 

Yes, bye, bye, bye 

They're gone, gone, gone 

Gone, gone, gone 

To the dreaded spoon 

Well, hide your cakes and Sunday pies 

Apple fritters and curly fries 

Nuts and cherries piled so high 

Just one swipe and it's say goodbye 

Yes, bye, bye, bye 

They're gone, gone, gone 

Gone, gone, gone 

To the dreaded spoon
