lyrics

Bakesale Angel, BBQ Queen

Well, who needs a woman that good in the kitchen?
That girl was just a heart attack waiting to happen
Fresh corn bread, maple-baked beans
You won’t miss that county BBQ Queen

Well you don’t want a girl up first in the morning
Clankin’ in the kitchen when you ought to be snoring
Pancake batter over everything and
Crash, bang, boom, rattle, ding-dong, ping

Apple pie, food galore, I can’t take this anymore
When’s that woman gonna get a life?
Step back Betty, put down that knife

Well you don’t want a girl with a penchant for bakin’
Isn’t she sick of the die-hard tradition?
Woman’s place is no longer the kitchen
Hasn’t she heard of Kentucky Fried Chicken?

Apple pie, food galore, I can’t take this anymore
When’s that woman gonna get a life?
Step back Betty, put down that knife

Well, you don’t want a girl with a greased-up frying pan
She’s gonna make you a stuffed and sorry man
It’s good to get out while you can

Oh bake-sale angel, why you puttin’ me through Hell?
How do you make such a damned good meal?
The way it looks and tastes and smells?
I can’t even do a box of mac n’ cheese without burnin’ it black
If you show up with a plate of cookies,
I’m afraid you’re gonna steal the man back

Apple pie, help me lord, I can’t take this anymore
When’s that woman gonna get a life?
Step back Betty, put down that knife

Well, who needs a woman that good in the kitchen?
That girl was just a heart-attack waiting to happen
Fresh corn bread, maple-baked beans
You won’t miss that county BBQ Queen
