Home Cookin’ Songtext
von Jr. Walker & the All Stars

I need home, home cookin′, yeah
I need home, home cookin', yeah

He said, "A woman′s place is in the kitchen"
But in the kitchen, you are a flop
Then meals that you've been fixin'
They ain′t nothin′ but yesterday's slop

And I like, your wiggly walk
I like your baby talk, yeah!
You′re neat, the way you look
But you ain't nothin′ if you can't cook

I need home, home cookin′, yeah
I need home, home cookin', yeah

Hot! I sweat all day
I rush back home, to see what you're cookin′
Your beans are burned, you′ve ruined my place
And in the mirror, I find you lookin'


Now, I like sweet candied yams
And I like homemade ham
Instead of study, how you look
You oughta study your mama′s cookbook

If you want a soul man
Get to rattlin', them pots and pans

I need home, home cookin′
I need home, home cookin', yeah!

Hot gravy
That pot roast
That pickled beet
And sugared toast

I like your wiggly walk, yeah!
And I like your way a-talkin′
And you look neat, the way you look
But you ain't nothin' if you can′t cook

I need home, home cookin′
I'm in the mood for soul food
I said, home, home cookin′
