Lyle Lovett - Pantry lyrics

rate me

My dear I have something to ask you <br />And I’ll try to get it right <br />You’ve heard the Light Crust Doughboys <br />All sing of Martha White <br />Oh the way to someone’s heart dear <br />That old expression’s true <br />So as long as we’re apart <br />Here’s my request of you: <br />Don’t cheat on me with cornbread, <br />Don’t cheat on me with beans <br />And don’t cheat on me with bacon, cooked up with collard greens <br />Don’t cheat on me with biscuits with jelly sweet and blue <br />Keep it in that place where <br />you know you will be true <br />Keep it in your pantry ( x 8 ) <br />I hate that I am leaving <br />And leaving you behind <br />But soon I’ll be returning <br />With a healthy appetite <br />Oh and if you are not hungry <br />as you once were before <br />I’ll know you have betrayed me <br />behind that kitchen door <br />Keep it in your pantry ( x 8 ) <br />I’ve dined the whole world over <br />I’ve had the fries of France <br />The melons of Verona <br />The sausage of Gdansk <br />No matter where I’ve been to, <br />From _________ to Rome <br />Nothin’s quite as tasty as what’s cookin’ right at home <br />Keep it in your pantry ( x 8 )<br /><br />
