I Can Cook Too

And I can cook, too

On top of the rest

My seafood's the best in the town

And 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 demitasse

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 gals make magazine covers

Some gals keep house on a dime

Some gals make wonderful lovers

But what a lucky find I'm

I'd make a magazine cover

I do keep house on a dime

I'd 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

And I can roast, too

My chickens, jazoos

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

'Cause I can fry, too

On top of the heap

My Crisco's as deep as a pool

And I can grill, too

My ribs win 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've had your fill

Baby, you'll never be bored

Oh, I'm a pâté

A marron glacé

Not in the recipe book

And what's more

Baby, I can cook

And what's more

Baby, I can cook
