Lyrics: G.W. Hunt

When I was Prince of Paradise – The first lines of the song are:

As I dozed in my chair after dinner one day,
A 'fairy' I seemed to see,

For the cover Concanen has partially transformed the pineapple on the fruit platter, just to the right of the port decanter, into the ‘fairy’ he ‘seemed to see.’
