Breakfast lunchtime and even supper
I got a girl who can churn some butter
Dice them taters, scramble them eggs
Makes my appetite stand up and beg
Even on low heat she makes it sizzle
Sure knows how to fire up a griddle
She can toss it, sauce it, shake it or bake it
Bring it to a boil all she needs a little oil
Get the back coils burnin’, taste buds twitchin’
Lord that girl knows her way around the kitchen
She’s a salty little thing, who likes to spice it up
She’s Dom Perignon with a pair of Dixie Cups
If I make it past the first course I may need a bib
Nothing bout dinner gonna be short-lived
Like expensive wine she got a full bouquet
And the spread she serves is the perfect entrée
She can baste it, taste it, whip it or dip it
Hotter than Cayenne, sweet like candied yam
She’s prime rib not country fried chicken
Lord that girl knows her way around the kitchen
Guitar Solo
So ‘fore you get old and start drawing a pension
Find you a girl who knows her way around the kitchen
One who can glaze it, braise it, grill it or chill it
Puree parfait, stoke the flame everyday
Blend it, tend it, steam it or cream it
Fricassee I’m on my knees, oh my God pretty please
Lord that girl knows her way around the kitchen
