Too Many Cooks Songtext

von Willie Dixon

Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
But ain't nobody cooking
But me and you

You got a real good oven
You got a hot flame, too
But let me butter your buns
While you stir this stew

Too many cooks are trying to get in the kitchen
The first thing you know
There'll be something missing

Your spice is so spicey
Your sugar so sweet
Your meat is so tender
Your juice is a treat, but

Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
But ain't nobody cooking
But me and you

Whatever you're cooking
Well, it sure smells good
It's got everybody talking
In the neighbourhood

Don't take no more cooks
Now baby, please
I got all the seasonings
In the world you need

Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew
But ain't nobody cooking here
But me and you
