lyrics

Well if the way to your heart were a raspberry tart,
I'd run into the kitchen and the oven I'd start,
I'd take a little flour, make a little dough,
Knead it and shape it till it's ready to go -

The berries would simmer deliciously
And the enticing smell would make you notice me!
If a simple tart were all it took,
I guess I'd have to learn to cook.

Now I don't like to brag or boast,
But of this town, this girl's the toast -
They're lining up outside my door,
Solicitin' to see me more.

I've got the wit, the laugh, the look,
And here you are complainin' that the girl can't cook!

So if you're hankerin' for a salted ham
And you were thinkin' what a knockout gal I am,
But you were worried that I haven't got that je ne sais quoi
That knows how to serve it up better than raw,

Well set your mind at ease, Monsieur,
While I consult my friend, Bettie Croqueur,
If a salted ham were all it took...
Then I'd be pleased - believe you me -

If the ingredients to our happiness could be found in a book
Of recipes,
Well then I guess I'd have to learn to cook!
