American Old Time Song Lyrics: 09 That's A Matter Of Taste
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 9
THAT'S A MATTER OF TASTE.
Sung by Robert Slavin.
Now some people like to be reading a book,
That's a mutter of taste;
But I've got a book that will teach you to cook,
That's a matter of taste.
Some people like pudding, while others like pies,
That's a matter of taste;
Some like to eat sponge cake And Dutch bologne,
That's a matter of taste.
A great many say Mrs. Langtry's a daisy,
Henry Irving, he thinks Helen Terry's- the daisy,
But I think Mary Anderson knocks them all crazy,
That's a matter of taste.
The Frenchman he likes a good glass of wine,
That's a matter of taste;
The Irish like whiskey, they say it is fine,
That's a matter of taste.
The English like ale and old Dublin stout,
That's a matter of taste;
The German wants lager and good sour-krout,
That's a matter of taste.
The Italians want an organ to increase their laziness,
The Negro wants gin, it brings them a dizziness,
But Americans want to collar the whole blooming business,
That's a matter of taste.
