ALF singing "Down By the Dinner Plate."
"Down By the Riverside" is a traditional African-American gospel song. ALF sings his own impomptu parody of the song in the episode "My Back Pages."
ALF's parody lyrics are as follows:
I'm gonna lay down my fork and spoon
Down by the dinner plate
Down by the dinner plate
Down by the dinner plate
I'm gonna lay down my fork and spoon
Down by the dinner plate
And eat this with my hands.
Cast he,s gonna use his fork and Spoon
Alf Down by the dinner plate x3
Cast he,s gonna eat this on the plane
Alf Down by the Dinner plate x 3
Cast he,s gonna eat this in the restaurant
Alf Down by the Dinner plate x 3
Cast did he have a pudding to
Alf Down by the dinner plate x 3
Cast did he eat this on his own
Alf down by the dinner plate (back to chorus) lib to fade
