Too Much Mustard - Les Brown, His Band Of Renown, Teresa Brewer

Too much mustard in the pot

Can make the beans too hot

Your kiss could hit the spot

Just cool it down

Too much mustard in the stew

Could spoil the stew for two

Oh babe, I’m beggin' you

Cool those kisses down

Lovin' is like a cake you bake

You can’t make one mistake

If you want it just exactly right

Lovin' should mellow just like wine

Just take it easy and you’ll do fine

Too much mustard, too much heat

Can spoil the finest meat

Your kissin' could be sweet

Just cool it down

Too much ketchup, too much spice

Can spoil the shrimp and rice

Oh babe, take my advice

Cool those kisses down

(Orchestral Break)

Pepper’s mighty good on hash

Salt is fine on succotash

But for love use just a dash

Not too much seas’ning

Chili’s mighty good on roast

Cinnamon is fine on toast

But if you love me the most

This is my reas’ning

Too much mustard in the pot

Can make the beans too hot

Your kiss could hit the spot

Just cool it down

Too much mustard in the stew

Could spoil the stew for two

Oh babe, I’m beggin' you

Cool those kisses down
