Don't Say Grace
Don't say grace before you dine
Just make God a guest
Set a place with sparkling wine
Serve the very best
Don't say grace before you dine
Just make God a dish
Cook it right with flavors fine
Fill the tender wish
Don't say grace before you dine
Just make God a friend
Speak a while with cordial sign
Start the genial trend
Don't say grace before you dine
Just make God a toast
Lift a glass with rhythmic line
Be the perfect host
Don't say grace before you dine
Just make God a part
Flash a smile with luster shine
Feed the hungry heart
