Canon In D
Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How d'ya like your eggs in the morning?
I like mine with a kiss
Boiled or fried?
I'm satisfied, as long as I get my kiss

How d'ya like your toast in the morning?
I like mine with a hug
Dark or light?
The world's all right, as long as I get my hug

I've got to have my love in the A.M.
Or the rest of my day is positively mayhem
I'm a regular monster

How d'ya like your eggs in the morning?
I like mine with a kiss
Up or down?
I'll never frown, eggs can be almost bliss
Just as long as I get my kiss

How d'ya like your eggs in the morning? (How d'ya like your eggs in the morning?)
I like mine with a kiss (I like mine with a kiss)
Boiled or fried
I'm satisfied
As long as I get my kiss

How d'ya like your toast in the morning? (How d'ya like your toast in the morning?)
I like mine with a hug (I like mine with a hug)
Dark or light
The world's all right
As long as I get my hug

I've got to have my love in the A.M.
Or the rest of my day is positively mayhem
I'm a regular monster

How d'ya like your eggs in the morning?
I like mine with a kiss
Up or down?




I'll never frown
Eggs can be almost bliss, just as long as I get my kiss
