Put your hands on the table,
And squeeze that lemon for me.
Keep doin' what you're doin,
And please don't stop 'til it's done!
What it is? What it is? What it is?
That we're doin' in the kitchen tonight?
What it is? What it is? What it is?
Is it something that your mama think ain't right?
Put that pan on the fire,
And grease it up with some special oil.
Keep it cookin', keep it cookin',
And please don't stop 'til it's hot.
What it is? What it is? What it is?
That we're doin' in the kitchen tonight?
What it is? What it is? What it is?
Cookin' some beans!
(Listen to the recipe...)
Take the lid off the cooker,
And tease me with some flavors, baby.
Shake-shake-shake-shake-shake that gravy,
And please don't stop 'til it's right! Yeah!
What it is? What it is? What it is?
That we're doin' in the kitchen tonight?
What it is? What it is? What it is?
Is it something that your mama think ain't right?
What it is? What it is? What it is?
Cookin' some beans!
