LICK THE BOWL


PANCAKES IN THE MORNIN ', YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THAT
SAT'DAY MORNING WAKE UP CALL
SWEET BUTTER AND LOG CABIN, YOU JUST SPREAD 'EM ON
AND YOUR RECIPE'S THE BEST OF ALL

    NO OTHER LOVER, CAN WHIP IT UP QUITE THE WAY YOU DO
    I HAVE DISCOVERED, YOU’RE COOKIN’ IS SO GOOD,
    I WANNA TASTE EVERY LAST DROP

CHORUS: CAN I, LICK THE BOWL?  TIL THERE, AIN'T NO MORE
             MAY I, LICK THE BOWL, LICK IT CLEAN?
             FIRST YOU'VE GOT TO, STIR IT UP, SMOOTH OUT THE LUMPS
             LET ME, LICK THE BOWL LICK IT CLEAN

YOUR LEG OF LAMB WITH DRESSING, AND SWEET ‘TATOE PIE,
GIVE A TONGUE TICKLE, AND A SMILE
THAT OXTAIL SOUP AND CORNBREAD, KEEPS ME AT HOME
AND PERKS EVERY NOSE AROUND FOR MILES

    WHIPPED CREAM ON PUDDING, WHAT A FLAVORFUL DELIGHT
    YOUR CHOCOLATE FROSTING, DOES IT TO ME EVERY NIGHT,
    I GOTTA HAVE YOUR GOOD COOKIN'

CHORUS: CAN I, LICK THE BOWL?  TIL THERE, AIN'T NO MORE
             MAY I, LICK THE BOWL, LICK IT CLEAN?
             FIRST YOU'VE GOT TO, STIR IT UP, SMOOTH OUT THE LUMPS
             LET ME, LICK THE BOWL LICK IT CLEAN

--SOLOS--

    GIVE ME YOUR GRAVY, AND HEAR MY MASHED POTATOES SWOON
    BETTER THAN CANDY, AND AFTER YOU POUR IT ON,
    I JUST HAVE ONE REQUEST

CHORUS: CAN I, LICK THE BOWL?  TIL THERE, AIN'T NO MORE
             MAY I, LICK THE BOWL, LICK IT CLEAN?
             FIRST YOU'VE GOT TO, STIR IT UP, SMOOTH OUT THE LUMPS
             LET ME, LICK THE BOWL LICK IT CLEAN

YOU HEARD ME CRYING

                       
LORD I BELIEVE YOU HEARD ME CRYING
LORD I BELIEVE YOU HEARD ME CRYING
        ‘CAUSE I’M THE MAN WHO FOUND HIS LOVE IN TIME

I’M THE ONE WHO CALLED YOUR NAME
I’M THE ONE WHO CALLED YOUR NAME
    YOU HEARD ME AND I’LL NEVER BE THE SAME

I WAS DOWN, I WAS DOWN SO LOW
I WAS DOWN, I WAS DOWN SO LOW
    HOW YOU FOUND ME, LORD I’LL NEVER KNOW

----------SOLO----------

THE PAIN WAS ALL AROUND MY HEART
THE PAIN WAS ALL AROUND MY HEART
    YOU MADE A WAY TO LET THE HEALING START

I’M THE ONE WHO CALLED YOUR NAME
I’M THE ONE WHO CALLED YOUR NAME
    YOU HEARD ME AND I’LL NEVER BE THE SAME

                   
LORD I BELIEVE YOU HEARD ME CRYING
LORD I BELIEVE YOU HEARD ME CRYING
           ‘CAUSE I’M THE MAN WHO FOUND HIS LOVE IN TIME
