Dear Tom,
Your wish is my command.
"You're My Dish" and its companion song, "More Power To You" (by the 
same authors) were recorded by Fats Waller and His Rhythm for Victor on 
7 Sept 1937. From the forgettable Universal film, 'Merry-Go-Round of 
1938'. A back-stage story about s comedy quartet adopting a little girl.

"YOU'RE MY DISH" (1937. Harold Adamson - Jimmy McHugh.)
You're my dish. Mmm, mmm.
You're a plate of peaches and cream.
You're like the angel cake mother used to make.
What a heavenly dream.
You're the well-known pudding of Yorkshire
Famous place for your friends
Analysing, appertising.
True plate of romance.

You're my dish. Yum, yum, yum.
You're a combination on rye.
It's as clear as soup to me, lovin' you could be
Just as easy as pie.
You could be my regular diet,
'cause I think you're simply delish.
You're my spicing, sugar icing.
You're my favourite dish.

Oh, you're my dish. Yes, yes.
A combination on rye.
It's clear as soup to me
Ah, loving you would be as easy as pie.
You could be my regular diet,
I think you're so delish.
Oh, spicin', icin', sugar spicin'
You're my favourite dish.

Kind regards,
Bill.
