I wake up in the mornin' to an empty bed
Can't even open my eyes, it's like they're made of lead
I got a leg cramp, back ache, and that ain't all
Feels like my head got in a fight with a bowling ball
With one eye open, through a cloudy film
I barely see the clock as it turns 10 a.m.
I slither out of bed clinging to the wall
And catch a heavenly scent floating down the hall
Aroma from the kitchen knock me offa my feet
Throw my heart into a faster beat beat beat
I got taste-buds jumpin' inside of my head
Baby you butter my - You butter my bread
Down in the kitchen in my baby's skillet
Is sizzlin' bacon with the oink still in it
She got fried eggs drippin' good with butter and oil
Food that make an ordinary man feel royal
Buckwheat flap-jacks hot off the griddle
Jams, jellies, homemade bread, butter on the table
There's muffins and biscuits bakin' in the oven
She's cookin' up a breakfast recipe for lovin'
Aroma from the kitchen knock me offa my feet
Throw my heart into a faster beat beat beat
I got taste-buds jumpin' inside of my head
Baby you butter my - You butter my bread
She set me down and we say grace
Then I begin to stuff my thankful face
Oh honey you give me what I've been needin'
I got a zillion fat cells and they need feedin'
I'm hungry just like a thoroughbred horse is
I eat that breakfast in thirteen courses
And just when I think that I'm through it all
She holler "Last call for cholesterol"
I finish that breakfast in just three hours
Stackin' plates and pans in little towers
My tummy is sunny and my skies are blue
So I want to do somethin' nice for you
I got pure maple syrup drippin' off of my lips
I pull you closer with my greasy fingertips
You get a big bear hug and then I flood you with kisses
But you say "None of that until you finish all the dishes!"
Aroma from the kitchen knock me offa my feet
Throw my heart into a faster beat beat beat
I got taste-buds jumpin' inside of my head
Baby you butter my - You butter my bread
