Cooking by the Book lyrics

I pile on the candy

It's such a pretty sight

It makes the food taste dandy

But my tummy hurts all night

I'll put in some ingredients

But keep the rest for me

I'm not just disobedient

I'm careful, can't you see?

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake

If the way is hazy

You gotta do the cooking by the book!

You know you can't be lazy.

Never use a messy recipe

The cake will end up crazy

If you do the cooking by the book

Then you'll have a cake

We gotta have it made

You know that I love cake

Finally it's time to make a cake

Making food is just like science

With tools that blend and baste

And every fine appliance

Gives the food a different taste

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake

If the way is hazy

You gotta do the cooking by the book.

You know you can't be lazy

Never use a messy recipe

The cake will end up crazy

If you do the cooking by the book

Then you'll have a cake

We gotta have it made

You know that I love cake

Finally it's time to make a cake

We gotta have it made

You know that I love cake

Finally it's time to make a -

You gotta do the cooking by the book!

- Cake!
