Steve Goodman - Chicken Cordon Blues lyrics
[Steve Goodman - Chicken Cordon Blues lyrics]
When I first met you baby
You fed me on chicken and wine
It was steak and potatoes and lobster
And babe I sure felt fine
But now all you give me
Is seaweed and alfalfa sprouts
And sunflower seeds and I got my doubts -
Babe, you left me here with
The Chicken Cordon Bleus
My stomach's so empty and all I
Got is food for thought
And I've been sittin' here thinkin'
'bout the twenty pounds of
Groceries we bought
We bought ten pounds of brown rice
And five more of beans
And five pounds of Granola and
You know what that means
I'm just a regular fella with
The Chicken Cordon Bleus
Now won't you to play me them fat licks!
I'm starved for affection and babe
I can't take no more
You know this stuff is so weird
That the cockroaches moved next door
Babe, can you see that old dog
He's out in the street
He's got a big smile on his
Face 'cause they let him meat
And babe I got the lemon
And the Chicken Cordon Bleus!
Babe, I'm goin down to the bakery
And I'm going to find me a jelly roll
And some cannoli some French pastry
A chocolate éclair don't sound too bad
How about some lasagna?
You know fat is where it's at
My shadow disappears
You fed me on chicken and wine
It was steak and potatoes and lobster
And babe I sure felt fine
But now all you give me
Is seaweed and alfalfa sprouts
And sunflower seeds and I got my doubts -
Babe, you left me here with
The Chicken Cordon Bleus
My stomach's so empty and all I
Got is food for thought
And I've been sittin' here thinkin'
'bout the twenty pounds of
Groceries we bought
We bought ten pounds of brown rice
And five more of beans
And five pounds of Granola and
You know what that means
I'm just a regular fella with
The Chicken Cordon Bleus
Now won't you to play me them fat licks!
I'm starved for affection and babe
I can't take no more
You know this stuff is so weird
That the cockroaches moved next door
Babe, can you see that old dog
He's out in the street
He's got a big smile on his
Face 'cause they let him meat
And babe I got the lemon
And the Chicken Cordon Bleus!
Babe, I'm goin down to the bakery
And I'm going to find me a jelly roll
And some cannoli some French pastry
A chocolate éclair don't sound too bad
How about some lasagna?
You know fat is where it's at
My shadow disappears
