Bessie Smith

Kitchen Man
Madam Buff's was quite deluxeServants by the scoreFootmen at each doorButlers and maids galoreBut one day Sam, her kitchen manGave in his notice, he's throughShe cried, "Oh Sam, don't goIt'll grieve me if you do"I love his cabbage gravy, his hashCrazy 'bout his succotashI can't do without my kitchen manWild about his turnip topLike the way he warms my chopI can't do without my kitchen manAnybody else can leaveAnd I would only laughBut he means too much to meAnd you ain't heard the halfOh, his jelly roll is so nice and hotNever fails to touch the spotI can't do without my kitchen manSongtexteHis frankfurters are oh so sweetHow I like his sausage meatI can't do without my kitchen manOh, how that boy can open clamNo one else is can touch my hamI can't do without my kitchen manWhen I eat his doughnutsAll I leave is the holeAny time he wants toWhy, he can use my sugar bowlOh, his baloney's really worth a tryNever fails to satisfyI can't do without my kitchen man Aus Songtexte Mania
