This song I sang at my good friend Michelle's 40th. It was a Pirates of the Caribbean dress up party which was fantastic. Michelle is a bit of a cook and the spread that evening was superb. She also makes the most wonderful organic wedding and occasion cakes. I had unexpected visitors that day and I excused myself for half an hour, sat at the computer and this just flowed. It went down so well. I am pleased both Michelle and her husbands songs (the big Four-Oh) were crowd pleasers as I performed them in front of heaps of family and friends who had known her a lot longer than I had. People were coming up to me saying how spot on I had got it. It is also a very difficult song to sing as it is quite fast, goes really high, so the top notes were a bit squeaky!
For Michelle’s 40th Sing to the tune of Grace Kelly by Mika
Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my pinny on?
My name’s Michelle?
And I excel.
It’s cooking I like
I can make cup cakes
I can cook blue steaks
I’m not at all shy
Have a taste
Have a little bit,
Why don’t you give it a try
I try to be like Nigella
Her cakes are not bad
I tried a little Delia
But she drove me mad!
I can cook fish
I can cook bread
I can cook pasta bake
I can do pies I can do fries
I could do anything you like
Gotta eat greens
Sometimes eat beans
Gotta eat everything and more
My husband reckons
That you’ll have seconds
And not fit through the door
What can I cook now
What can I cook now,
What can I cook for tonight
I’ve can do hearty
I’m having a party
My food will excite
Lots of pirates
And some wenches
Are coming round here
To have a sing song
And a boogie
We’ll have lots of cheer
I try to be like Nigella
Her cakes are not bad
I tried a little Delia
But she drove me mad!
I can cook scones
I can cook rice
I can cook sausage rolls
I can do peas
I can do cheese
I could do anything you like
Gotta eat greens
Sometimes eat beans
Gotta eat everything and more
My husband reckons
That you’ll have seconds
And not fit through the door
Eat what you like to satisfy yourself
I love to cook for everyone here
and there’s more….and there’s more
I can cook leeks
I can cook beef
I can cook fairy cakes
I can do lamb
I can do ham
I could do anything you like
Gotta eat greens
Sometimes eat beans
Gotta eat everything and more
My husband reckons
That you’ll have seconds
And not fit through the door
I can cook quiche
I can cook quail
I can cook coq au vin
I can do roast
I can do toast
I could do anything you like
Gotta eat greens
Sometimes eat beans
Gotta eat everything and more
My husband reckons
That you’ll have seconds
And not fit through the door
Welcome
I love words and have been writing for years. Although it started with silly poems, I have matured (slightly) and now enjoy writing poems and songs for special friends to celebrate special milestones. I have decided to put these online should anyone be interested and also they are a safe haven online should anything happen to my knackered old laptop!
So from my first song for Helen, to the latest songs for Tina's 40th and poems for Sherrell's baby and all the stuff in the background since I was 14, enjoy my silly poems, my prose, my barstardisation of songs and if any one of them makes you smile, then I am happy. Let me know what you think!
