Lyrics
Just a note... After I wrote and had this recorded, I'd wished I had made a couple lyrical changes: In verse 3, instead of "Oh I'll be the envy of all who see Recipes By Me" it should be "It's only fair that I share Recipes By Me" - Even though I wrote this just in fun & it's not to be taken so seriously, and it was meant to be taken as a joke that other kids would be envious of his recipes (since they're so absurd!), this is a kid's song after all and encouraging sharing is better than other's being envious of his silly concoctions!
If anyone wants to sign this song, it will be re-recorded with this change! I feel responsible for the songs being a good influence :)
Recipes By Me
C 2005 CD Schwartz
(V1)
Oh, did you know that I love to cook (ba-na-na-na)
I'd like to make up my own recipe book (created by me!)
Like chocolate noodle stew topped with fricasseed fondue
It's really delish - just take a whiff of
Recipes by me
(V2)
Oh, for breakfast I like to mix and whip and fry (I like to fry)
Peppermint pancakes with fresh whipped cream pie (whipped cream pie)
Top it off with a frosty glass of berry juice with lemon snaps
Oh, what a way to start the day with
Recipes by me
(V3)
At school for lunch I have a hunch
I'd like to take a peanut butter, guacamole, and salsa sandwich
With granola crunch and banana smunch
I'll drink an orange cinnamon shake
And top it off with caramel cake
Oh, I'll be the envy of all who see
Recipes by me
(V4)
But by dinner, I must confess I don't feel so well (ba-na-na-na)
My stomach squirms and whines "something normal'd be swell - normal is swell!"
I dream of salad, chicken, brown rice
Oooh, it really would be nice
To have a normal recipe
Recipe by me
(V5)
So by now you know that I love to cook (ba-na-na-na)
I'd like to make up my own recipe book (made up by me!)
When I grow up I want to be
The most original chef that there ever could be
But don't be surprised if sometimes you see
Me eatin' normally (sounds good to me!)
So just give me a call if you all
Want recipes by me!
