Lyrics
(Who's gonna) Shell Your Peas
c. Glen King
Verse 1:
I'm not the sharpest knife
In the drawer,
I'm not your ideal guy,
But, I've got some skills
That'll give you the chills
And hang- the moon
In your eyes,
So, maybe you better step back
A little,
From copping an attitude
Just take a breath and contemplate
The things I do for you:
Chorus:
Who's gonna Shell Your Peas, mama
Who's gonna peel your spuds
Who's gonna whip some gravy up
When you're hungry for love
Now, What'cha do If I leave, mama
Won't you tell me please,
Who's gonna Shell, Who's gonna shell
Who's Gonna shell Your Peas.
Verse 2:
You're not the brightest star
In the sky,
Not on the top ten list,
But, you've got a knack
For rubbing my back
That's just too hard
To resist,
So, maybe we oughta cool down
A little
Try giving our tongues a rest
Just think about how sweet it'd be
Cooking with the chef:
Chorus:
Who's gonna Shell Your Peas, mama
Who's gonna peel your spuds
Who's gonna whip some gravy up
When you're hungry for love
Now, What'cha do If I leave, mama
Won't you tell me please,
Who's gonna Shell, Who's gonna shell
Who's Gonna shell Your Peas.
Bridge:
You can accuse me Of doing you wrong
But, this is right where I belong
You can accuse me of acting uptight
But, meet me in the kitchen, tonight:
Chorus: Repeat
