On the Town movie - I Can Cook Too lyrics
rate me<br>
HILDY:<br>
Oh, I can cook, too, on top of the rest,<br>
My seafood's the best in the town.<br>
And I can cook, too.<br>
My fish can't be beat,<br>
My sugar's the sweetest around.<br>
I'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal<br>
Right down to the demi-tasse.<br>
I'm a pot of joy for a hungry boy,<br>
Baby, I'm cookin' with gas.<br>
Oh, I'm a gumdrop,<br>
A sweet lollipop,<br>
A brook trout right out of the brook,<br>
And what's more, baby, I can cook!<br>
<br>
Some girls make magazine covers,<br>
Some girls keep house on a dime,<br>
Some girls make wonderful lovers,<br>
But what a lucky find I'm.<br>
I'd make a magazine cover,<br>
I do keep house on a dime,<br>
I make a wonderful lover,<br>
I should be paid overtime!<br>
<br>
'Cause I can bake, too, on top of the lot,<br>
My oven's the hottest you'll find.<br>
Yes, I can roast too,<br>
My chickens just ooze,<br>
My gravy will lose you your mind.<br>
I'm a brand new note<br>
On a table d'hôte,<br>
But just try me à la carte.<br>
With a single course<br>
You can choke a horse.<br>
Baby, you won't know where to start!<br>
Oh, I'm an hors d'oeuvre,<br>
A jelly preserve,<br>
Not in the recipe book,<br>
And what's more, baby, I can cook!<br>
<br>
Baby, I'm cookin' with gas.<br>
Oh, I'm a gumdrop,<br>
A sweet lollipop,<br>
A brook trout right out of the brook,<br>
And what's more, baby, I can cook!<br>
<br>
Some girls make wonderful jivers,<br>
Some girls can hit a high "C",<br>
Some girls make good taxi drivers,<br>
But what a genius is me.<br>
I'd make a wonderful jiver,<br>
I even hit a high "C",<br>
I make the best taxi driver,<br>
I rate a big Navy "E"!<br>
<br>
'Cause I can fry, too, on top of the heap,<br>
My Crisco's as deep as a pool.<br>
Yes, I can broil, too,<br>
My ribs get applause,<br>
My lamb chops will cause you to drool.<br>
For a candied sweet<br>
Or a pickled beet,<br>
Step up to my smorgasbord.<br>
Walk around until<br>
You get your fill.<br>
Baby, you won't ever be bored!<br>
Oh, I'm a paté,<br>
A marron glacé,<br>
A dish you will wish you had took.<br>
And what's more, baby, I can cook!!<br>
<br>
