I Can Cook Too (From ”On the Town”)

[HILDY]
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 beat
My sugar's the sweetest around

I'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal
Right down to the demitasse
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 rum my house on a dime
I'd 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
Oh, I can roast, too
My chickens just ooze
My gravy will lose you your mind

I'm a brand new notе
On a table d'hôte
But just try my à la carte
With a singlе 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 pâté
A marron glacé
A dish you will wish you had took
And what's more, baby, I can cook!
