Lyrics

You can’t cook!

Who can’t cook?!

You’re thick and fat!

Don’t talk about my velocity now.

You never got no dough.

Ain’t supposed to have none!

 

You drink too much gin.

Always drink my gine.

And you’re tired?

Always tired.

You don’t do anything I like!

Well you know I like everything that you like.

You do?

Yes!

Do you like the skies of blues?

Honey you knows I love the skies of blue

And another thing

I love everything that you love

That’s what I like about you

 

Looks like you can read my mind

Honey looks your face ??

Another thing, I love everything that you like

That’s what I like about you

 

Do you like a breakfast table?

Honey shut your mouth

That’s it right there!

Double ?? on a breakfast table

With extra chair for baby huh?

Well we’re getting somewhere,

Let’s get together!

 

Heaven shines above,

??

Looks like the dawn of love!

Oh you slay me, hot papa!

You know that I love everything that you like.

That’s what I like about you.

Song Notes

Note for DJs: the comical imitation of a woman and potential anti-fat rhetoric should be considered
