I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
(?) when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
Whisper in my ear all your culinary wishes
Next thing you know you're washing the dishes
Your table is ready for me
I'm happy to seat you

Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice or two
I'd really like another slice of you
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I get a table you know damn well I get a table for two
Preheat the oven so the cooking is best
I trained at the very best kitchens in france
My service is slow and I hope this doesn't offend you

Slices of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice of you
That's so nice of you
I'd really like another slice or two
[Slice of you]
I'd really like another slice of you


And everywhere I go
You ask me, Valentine
What's your recipe for love?
MY answer's always the same
Cook the hell out of it
It's slices of you
If music be the food of love, play on
But I'm really too hungry for just one song
It's so fire leads to you
I'd really like anotheer slice of you
That's so nice of you
[Nice of you]
I'd really like another slice of you
[Slice of you]
I'd really like another slice of you


I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
'cos when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do
I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu

    General Comment:Definitely about sex (oral sex in particular), but I disagree with Shikayama.
    I think it's just hilarious innuendo.

    General Comment:I think it is about a sex orientated relationship, where he is "abusing" her for his wish to f***.

    "I'm late for dinner but look who's on the menu
    'Cos when I'm in a hurry nothing tastes as good as you do"
    He is late, so he does not have to come in time.
    He is in a hurry, so it is kind of a "quickie"

    "Whisper in my ear all your culinary wishes
    Next thing you know you're washing the dishes"
    She wants more than this or wants to say what is to be done but in the end he will always be the one who commands.

    "Your table is ready for me
    I'm happy to seat you"
    Especially the second line should be clear.

    "I trained at the very best kitchens in france
    My service is slow and I hope this doesn't offend you"
    maybe a reference to French kissing or his style of flirting or something
    and the second line is maybe about his service being long and slow ^^


    "If music be the food of love, play on
    But I'm really too hungry for just one song"
    So he wants always more

    Some things don't fit in, but it is the only option I can think of.

    General Comment:I cannot figure out if this song is about sex or cannibalism. Given that it's Electric Six, I'd say sex.
