THE KITCHEN SONG

By John D. Loudermilk and Susan Loudermilk
Acuff/Rose -BMI

What you cooking in your aliminum* pot?
That little one that keeps your kisses so hot
Baby, what a lovely smell that it's got
Come on and tell me, now, what you've got

What you cooking, Hon
What you fixing up, what you doing up
Mix it up, boil it up, fry it up, baste it
Now matter how it's done you know I won't waste it
Lord-a-mercy, Girl, I almost can taste it...

I like your fish and I like your chips
Greasy loving all over your lips
I like your steak and your kidney pie
It ain't your kidneys, though, catching my eye, now

What you cooking, Hon
What you doing up, what you fixing there
Mix it up, boil it up, fry it up, baste it
Now matter how it's done you know I won't waste it
Lord-a-mercy, Girl, I almost can taste it...

You know how much I like to drink and to eat
But it's love that makes a meal complete
Lord-a-mercy, Girl, your loving's so sweet
And I'm starving, how about something to eat

What you cooking, now
Hey, good looking now, what you frying up
Mix it up, boil it up, fry it up, baste it
Now matter how it's done you know I won't waste it
Lord-a-mercy, Girl, I almost can taste it...
