When it comes to being chef man I do my best
But if it comes out wrong it's not my fault
The secret weapon's not my recipe book
It's the smoked salt
Peanut butter jelly or a fast food meal
Never took much of a big deal
Single days it was gasoline
Put food in the tank n keep it lean
I burned pasta ate carrots n cheese
Now I got myself three mouths to feed
Happy meals - don't insult
The secret weapon smoked Salt
Reheat dumplings make mac and cheese
Peel carrots what's your order please?
Do Little Cesears on a busy day
Still have salad or we don't play
Go thru fruit like a millionaire
Mix yogurt like we don't care
Those other daddy's are all talk
My secret weapon is the smoked salt
I’ll Have Another 5/20/17
Well I Woke up late, and poured my coffee
Looked in my fridge to see what I had
Fry me some bacon and eggs over-easy
Burnt my toast,but not too bad…
Started thinking about what to cook for dinner
Make something special just for you
Lots of leftovers in the kitchen
Gonna be a good night for pot luck stew…
Well I made me a list and looked it over
Headed on down to the grocery store
Produce looked good,choices a plenty
Man I was starving when I hit the door
I got in my car,and was getting real hungry
Took the groceries home,I was ready for lunch
Looked at my watch and said ’No wonder’
I was off to the diner,It was time to munch…
Bridge…The waitress said ’Darling do you want sweet tea?’
You know it’s always the same for me
Cornbread at lunch,biscuits for supper
Always the same,’I’ll have another’…
When I got home,I started chopping
Adding my goodies,Oh so fine
Leftover chicken and taters from last night
Tonight,we’ll have a grand ole time…
Well our bellies are full and the dishes are done
I’ll take out my old Martin guitar
Pick a few tunes before my bed time
I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow…
Bridge……
a man goes hungry
a man goes dry
can’t find no reason
he don’t know why
he does his duty
he serves his time
he waits, so patient
long past his time
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
she cook a sirloin
fry it up in a pan
serves it all to
some other man
I wait for my turn
so patiently
the only dinner
that’s left for me
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
so if you’re hungry
hear me good
you’ll wanna listen
you know you should
you get your pan down
off the shelf
you gotta learn to
cook for yourself
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
LEMON SOLE
THE MASTER CHEF WAS CRYING
THE DUMBWAITER WAS LOSING CONTROL
THE PEOPLE GREW IMPATIENT WAITING FOR THEIR LEMON SOLE
THEY STARTED SHOUTING WE CAN’T WAIT TAKE IT ANYMORE
THEY HEADED OUT THE DOOR
AND WENT OUT RUNNING IN THE NIGHT TURNING LEFT AND TURNING RIGHT
FOR LEMON SOLE
IT WAS ALL THE RAGE DOWNTOWN AND NUMBER 3 ON MICHELIN
YOU CAN NEVER GET A TABLE
WITHOUT A RESERVATION
THE COOK WAS DRUNK
THE MAITRE’D WAS VERY SAD
LOOKING FIND THE BAND
AND THEY WENT OUT RUNNING IN THE NIGHT TURNING LEFT AND TURNING RIGHT
FOR LEMON SOLE
LEMON SOLE LEMON SOLE CAN I HAVE LEMON SOLE
LEMON SOLE LEMON SOLE CAN I HAVE LEMON SOLE
A LITTLE BIT OF GINGER AND WHOLE LOT OF OLIVE OIL
WHITE WINE AND SCALLIONS AND BUTTER AND A PINCH OF SALT
COOK YELLED OUT THERE IS NO FOOD ANYMORE
HE HEADED FOR THE DOOR
AND THEY WENT OUT RUNNING THROUGH NIGHT TURNING LEFT AND TURNING RIGHT
FOR LEMON SOLE…LEMON SOLE
