Lyrics I Can Cook, Too (From "On the Town") - Nancy Walker

Oh, I can cook, too, on top of the rest
My seafood's the best in the town
Yes, I can cook, too
My fish can't be beaten
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've made a magazine cover
I run my house on a dime
I'd make a wonderful lover
I should be paid overtime
'Cos I can bake, too, on top of the lot
My oven's the hottest you'll find
Oh, 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 my à la carte
With a single course
You could choke a horse
Baby, you won't know where to start!
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
Go around until you've had your fill
Baby, you'll never 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!
