Cookin' in Carol's Kitchen

This one dates to a time when I felt like my best chance of getting a positive reaction was to write songs full of double entendres and innuendoes (it does seem to be a strength of mine anyway). Carol's husband didn't take to this one, so I never really played it much, but at the time the variations in chords and tempo were pretty advanced for me: it doesn't show here, but I had a little cliche intro and break, and even a harp solo figured out.

Everybody’s met a woman or two with everything it takes
To boil vegetables, bake a potato, and cook a decent steak.
But they ain’t got what Carol’s got; They can’t do what she can.

I’ve been in Carol’s kitchen, ‘n’ I’m here to tell you man.

I’ve got an addiction to cookin’ in Carol’s kitchen.

Her vegetables are firm, and her fruit is oh-so-sweet;
Her sauce is smooth and creamy, and goes good with any meat.
Breasts so firm, thighs so greasy, and her special spice,
On Carol’s rotisserie, the chicken cooks up nice.

She don’t have new equipment; hers is tried and true.
In Carol’s kitchen she’s got what you need for what you want t’ do.
It’s not the equipment, it’s what she does with it;
What takes Carol half an hour took Lorene half the night.

Something in the microwave, in the oven, and on top,
Turn the rotisserie on too, and her breaker’s gonna pop!
She can get the job done, but watch out for overload.
Yeah, her equipment’s tested, but her service is getting old.

Speed freaks like to pop their pills, winos drink cheap wine.
Cookin’ in Carol’s kitchen sets me up just fine.
