The Glory of the Knickerbocker
Knickerbocker Glory
There's a story
How it got it's name
It originated in New York
In the early 1900s', so I've heard talk.
After a Hotel painted pink and cream
Gave rise to the Knickerbocker Glory dessert dream
The Knickerbocker Hotel sounds absurd
The Knickerbocker Glory is the name I heard,
It was a popular place
To embrace
Until the 1920s, when business decreased
And this glorious hotel deceased,
They made a dessert all pink and white
So every palate could delight
In the glory and the flavour
And savour,
Memories of times gone by
When people just like you and I
Wanted to preserve the Knickerbocker story
With a decadent sundae in all its glory.
