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! 

Some girls make magazine covers, 
Some girls keep house on a dime, 
Some girls make wonderful lovers, 
But what a lucky find I'm. 
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 à la 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! 

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! 

Some girls make wonderful jivers, 
Some girls can hit a high "C", 
Some girls make good taxi drivers, 
But what a genius is me. 
I'd make a wonderful jiver, 
I even hit a high "C", 
I make the best taxi driver, 
I rate a big Navy "E"! 

'Cause I can fry, too, on top of the heap, 
My Crisco's as deep as a pool. 
Yes, I can broil, too, 
My ribs get applause, 
My lamb chops will cause you to drool. 
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!!
