My Wife Can't Cook - Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings

If it wasn’t for the beans that come out the can

A lot of the peas or the beets, the rice and the Spam

The milk and bread at the grocery store

I tell you, I couldn’t eat no more

'Cause let me tell you, my wife, she can’t cook

If I thought she could read, I would buy her a book

But she knows how to do with the fuss and bother

She don’t even know how to boil hot water

Let me tell you what we had last night on the dinner table

A can of green beans, cold spinach, a tomato

The nasty cup, I say, you ever wanna see

And she was tryin' to feed it to me

Let me tell you I think that woman is downright lazy

'Cause here her sister come with cold cuts and gravy

Now cold cuts and gravy in one big bowl

I thought I’d choke but I got through

And she said

(Spit it out, spit it all out)

What you say?

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

Well, I guess I’m gonna eat this slop any old way

So don’t you get me wrong, I love that girl

I guess I’m about craziest old man in the world

But I got to love her 'cause I got no friends

Aww, here she comes with red beans and onions again

And she said

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

What you say?

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

Well, one two three four

Five six seven eight

Nine eight seven six

Five four three two

One more time, come on

(His wife, she can’t cook)

Early in the mornin'

(His wife, she can’t cook)

(His wife, she can’t cook)

Cook 'em clean, cook 'em clean

Put 'em in a pot and let 'em steam, come on

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

What you say?

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

Come to the doctor, you wonder why

I just ate them beans and I’m about to die, come on

(His wife, she can’t cook)

Hey baby

(His wife, she can’t cook)

(His wife, she can’t cook)

Cook 'em clean, cook 'em clean

Put 'em in a pot and let 'em steam, come on

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

What you say?

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

Come to the doctor, you wonder why

I just ate them beans and I’m about to die, come on

(His wife, she can’t cook)

Hey baby

(His wife, she can’t cook)

(His wife, she can’t cook)

Aww, just a little bit louder, come on

(Eat it up, eat it all up)

(Eat it up, eat it all up)
