It Only Takes a Taste Lyrics

[DR. POMATTER, spoken]
You know what's kinda funny?
Just seeing you, sitting here, all by yourself in your uniform
(sung)
You remind me of a girl I once knew
Gah, by now she’s well in middle age
Probably 41, 42

[JENNA, spoken]
Huh. Thank you?

[DR. POMATTER, spoken]
What? Oh my god, no, no, no no
(sung)
She was a waitress at a shop I used to frequent quite a lot
Nice teeth and small hands and snuck me goodies I couldn’t afford then
She was sweet to me
Reminds me of you

[JENNA, spoken]
Hmm. Oh, well, nobody ever really notices me that way, so--

[DR. POMATTER, spoken]
Somebody did, right?

[JENNA, spoken]
Hmm?

[DR. POMATTER, spoken]
No because you have the, the baby. You'd--
(sung)
She'd make the pies fresh every day
Like you, I guess but I must say
If pies were books yours would be Shakespeare's letters
You remind me of her, but better

It only takes a taste
When it's something special
It only takes a taste
When ya know it's good
Sometimes one bite is more than enough
To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of

[JENNA]
That reminds me of a thing we would say
Me and my momma in the kitchen when we'd bake
She'd say Jenna, you can tell the whole story with a taste

[DR. POMATTER]
Yeah! No that's exactly what I mean
I swear that as those flavors mixed and melted I could hear the sirens sing
It was truly something special-- one taste and I want the whole thing

I must say
It felt like I was carried away
Intoxicated, made me escape the room I was in
I can't help but wonder how your hands must have felt
Creating such a masterful thing

[JENNA]
Just one bite
Caused all that wondering

[DR. POMATTER]
It only takes a taste

[JENNA & DR. POMATTER]
It only takes a taste when you know it's good
Sometimes one bite is more than enough
To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of

Why does Dr. Pomatter freak out after Jenna says "Huh. Thank you?"

Dr. Pomatter responds this way because when he sings “Probably 41, 42” he is talking about the age of “the girl he once knew” and not Jenna. But Jenna seems to think otherwise.

Why is there a pause after jenna say just one bite cause all that wondering

The pause is meant to make Dr. Pomatter seem insanely obsessive over Jenna’s pie-making skills.
