lyrics

STEP INTO MY KITCHEN

If you ever find yourself in Caroline
Here's what you want to do
Find a little shack with a smoker in the back
And get yourself some BBQ
They've got black-eyed peas and collard greens
Lima beans and Brunswick Stew
And if you have a hankerin' for something sweet
You just might find that too

I saw her from the door
She shifted 'cross the floor
She said "Can I do ANYTHING for you?
You look like you might have a BIG appetite,
Honey, have I got something for you!
If you want a slice, a taste of paradise
To get you through the afternoon
Just step in to my kitchen, Child
I'll fix you up a thing or two"

She said "Honey, shush your mouth, there ain't no strangers in the South|
You best believe that it's true
Bless your little heart, I knew right from the start
I'd take a shining to you
I'll be your sugar bee, I'll be the sweet in your tea
You'll be my hushpuppy 'fore I'm through
So won't you step into my kitchen, Sugar
We'll cook us up a thing or two"

She said "Honey, shush your mouth, there ain't no strangers in the South|
You best believe that it's true
Bless your little heart, I knew right from the start
I'd take a shining to you

If you want a slice, a taste of paradise
To get you through the afternoon
Just step in to my kitchen, Baby
I'll fix you up a thing or two
Just step in to my kitchen, Baby
I'll fix you up a thing or two"
