The Lyrics

Spoonin’ with babe in the living room,
feeling that it’s time to make a move.
We’re cuddling here on the couch together;
If Vance, I’d pant for divan stuffed with feathers.
But I think: etymology. From where comes
spoonin’, what’s the word-origin route?
Musin' about this until I scoot
to my computer, where I hit the keys
and gaze into the screen, where I can see
two meanings, just one’s relevant to me. First,
spoonin’ from Wales, this one means “love spoon,”
given to a girl by would-be groom.
That one? No, no.

To the second origin my eyes stray.
Essentially it means the dog-style way.
It’s chest to back, and then commence foreplay.
A way for sex to be—like spoons connected. See?*

Scootin’ back to the couch, set to spoon,
movin’ beyond spoon in living room...
no doze, no clothes.

Groovin’: one hump, two humps….
1. In Old English, a spoon was a “splinter” of wood, evolving into the eating utensil in Middle English. Starting in 17th century Wales, spooning involved a love-spoon, an intricately wooden spoon given by a young suitor to a woman. Among other things, it signaled to her and her family that he was a skilled man who was able to provide for her. Fancy! This tradition appears to have influenced spooning in the 1800s, which was any type of affectionate or flirtatious behavior displayed between two love interests. 2. Spooning is a form of cuddling where two people lay on their sides, with one person’s back against the other’s chest. In this position, the two people resemble two spoons nested together in a drawer.
