Duck in the kitchen

The ceiling's too low

Papa's got his hands full, he's kneading some dough

Mama's got her sleeves rolled up and raring to go

The avocado is making a move

Flirting with the blender, they're into a groove

The skillet's hot and gotten the cornbread in the mood

Add some sauce it'll give it a kick

Stir the pot and give it a lick (or two)

Eat it down and get s'more

Pile it on your plate like you did before

There's a whole lotta shaking and baking going on

There's a whole lotta shaking and baking going on

Don't tell the lobster but the butter's already drawn

The green beans snapped

And went berserk

It turns out vegetables tend to be jerks

The chicken pot just can't decide if she likes her line of work

Duck in the kitchen, the ceiling's too low

The collards are itchin' to jump into your bowl

It's finally time that fruit got to rock and roll

Who needs Julia Child's canard l'orange?

When you've got a turducken

Deep-frying in the garage

Duck in the kitchen

The ceiling's too low

Duck in the kitchen, the ceiling's too low

Mama's got her sleeves rolled up and putting on a show
