Kitchen Man (05-08-29) |
Madam Buff’s was quite deluxe |
Servants by the score |
Footmen at each door |
Butlers and maids galore |
But one day Sam, her kitchen man |
Gave in his notice, he’s through |
She cried, «Oh Sam, don’t go |
It’ll grieve me if you do» |
I love his cabbage gravy, his hash |
Crazy 'bout his succotash |
I can’t do without my kitchen man |
Wild about his turnip top |
Like the way he warms my chop |
I can’t do without my kitchen man |
Anybody else can leave |
And I would only laugh |
But he means too much to me |
And you ain’t heard the half |
Oh, his jelly roll is so nice and hot |
Never fails to touch the spot |
I can’t do without my kitchen man |
His frankfurters are oh so sweet |
How I like his sausage meat |
I can’t do without my kitchen man |
Oh, how that boy can open clam |
No one else is can touch my ham |
I can’t do without my kitchen man |
When I eat his dough nuts |
All I leave is the hole |
Any time he wants to |
Why, he can use my sugar bowl |
Oh, his baloney’s really worth a try |
Never fails to satisfy |
I can’t do without my kitchen man |
