Knife & Fork, Like My Peaches & Shake My Tree (1944) and more

[Mullins, Bill]

> And, of course, it's also a staple of R&B. For example,

> It was popular du'in' the Ko-Rean Waw:
>
> Well, you're the cutest thing
> That I did ever see
> I really love your peaches
> Gonna shake your tree
>
> Chorus:
>
> Lovey-dovey
> Lovey-dovey all the time
>
> Does it remind you of someone who eventually decided to fly
> like an eagle to the sea?
