I tried to bake a cake
But it exploded all over
And smoke fills the kitchen
When I use the toaster
I tried to make pancakes
But what a runny mess
And when I butter a bagel
It jumps onto my dress
I tried to make scrambled eggs
(Ok, they turned out fine)
But cranberry muffins
Were a complete waste of time
I would still make you dinner
Oh, yes I would try
As long as you don’t mind
A meltdown, a cry
... I would create romance
With candles and music
So you would think
You’d been struck by cupid
Now close your eyes
And don’t look at the food
I'm sure you don’t want to
Ruin the mood
The kitchen's a disaster,
I look worse for wear
But I can’t think of anything better
Than you across the table, there!
