I Can Cook Too (From "On The Town")

I Can Cook Too (From "On The Town") - Nancy Walker

Written by：Leonard Bernstein/Betty Comden/Adolph Green

Oh 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 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

I'd make a magazine cover

I do keep 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 àla 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

For a candied sweet

Or a pickled beet

Step up to my smorgasbord

Walk around until

You get your fill

Baby you won't ever be bored

Oh I'm a paté

A marron glacé

A dish you will wish you had took

And what's more baby I can cook
