RECORDED AUGUST 22, 1934 IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK
VOCAL REFRAIN BY PHIL SAXE

Our dinner date a long time back,
Was something that couldn’t have lacked,
The thrill and love of two in tune,

But when I heard you’d never ate,
A tiny, green food that’s so great,
I promised that would change very soon,

When you first ate an olive,
How I tried! How I tried!
When you first ate an olive,
How I cried! How I cried!

You tried to push yourself away from this tiny food,
But then I said “if you should stray, I’ll be in a bad mood,”

When you first ate that olive,
How I cheered! How I cheered!
From then on, you liked olives,
Your pickiness disappeared!

And so, then I proposed,
We’re in love and I’ll know,
Forever, when you first ate an olive!
