Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Patti Austin
Well, I can cook, too, on top of the rest, my seafood's the best in town
Yes I can cook, too, my fish can't be beat, my sugar's the sweetest around
I'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal, right down to the demi-tasse
I'm a pot of joy for a hungry boy, baby, I'm cookin' with gas
Oh, I'm a gumdrop, a sweet lollipop, a brook trout right out of the brook
And what's more, baby, I can cook!
Some girls make magazine covers, some girls keep house on a dime
Some girls make wonderful lovers, but what a lucky find I'm
I'd make a magazine cover, I do keep my house on a dime
I make a wonderful lover, I should be paid overtime!
'Cause I can bake, too, on top of the lot, my oven's the hottest you'll find
Yes, I can roast too, my chickens just ooze, my gravy will lose you your mind
I'm a brand new note, on a table d'hôte, but just try me à la carte
With a single course, You can choke a horse, baby, you won't know where to start!
Oh, I'm an hors d'oeuvre, a jelly preserve, not in the recipe book
And what's more, baby, I can cook!
I can cook, take a look! (just take a look)
Some girls make wonderful jivers, some girls can hit a high "C"
Some girls make good taxi drivers
But what a genius is me
Well, I'd make a wonderful jiver, I can even hit a high "C"
I make the best taxi driver, I rate a big Navy "E"!
'Cause I can fry, too, on top of the heap, my Crisco's as deep as a pool
Yes, I can broil, too, my ribs get applause, my lamb chops will cause you to drool
For a candied sweet, or a pickled beet, step up to my smorgasbord
Walk around until, you get your fill, baby, you'll never be bored!
I'm a paté, A marron glacé, a, dish you will wish you had took
And what's more, baby, I can cook!!
I wanna let you know that what's more, baby, I can cook!!
No, the girl ain't telling no lie (I can cook)
She can broil, she can fry (I can cook)
She can salt it my oh my
The girl can cook
She can roast, she can boil she can toast, she can cook
She can cook, she can fry, salt it, my oh my, she can cook (I can really cook)
No, the girl ain't telling no lie (I wouldn't lie) She can broil, she can fry
She can salt it my oh my
Hey, hey Patti Cracker, this girl, is a rocka' (yeah yeah)
Get back, look down
Because this is a lady that can cook!
Well, I can cook, too, on top of the rest, my seafood's the best in town
Yes I can cook, too, my fish can't be beat, my sugar's the sweetest around
I'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal, right down to the demi-tasse
