[03:07.00]Kitchen Man - Bessie Smith
[03:07.00]Madam Buff's was quite deluxe
[03:07.00]Servants by the score
[03:07.00]Footmen at each door
[03:07.00]Butlers and maids galore
[03:07.00]But one day Sam, her kitchen man
[03:07.00]Gave in his notice, he's through
[03:07.00]She cried,"Oh Sam, don't go
[03:07.00]It'll grieve me if you do"
[03:07.00]I love his cabbage gravy, his hash
[03:07.00]Crazy 'bout his succotash
[03:07.00]I can't do without my kitchen man
[03:07.00]Wild about his turnip top
[03:07.00]Like the way he warms my chop
[03:07.00]I can't do without my kitchen man
[03:07.00]Anybody else can leave
[03:07.00]And I would only laugh
[03:07.00]But he means too much to me
[03:07.00]And you ain't heard the half
[03:07.00]Oh, his jelly roll is so nice and hot
[03:07.00]Never fails to touch the spot
[03:07.00]I can't do without my kitchen man
[03:07.00]His frankfurters are oh so sweet
[03:07.00]How I like his sausage meat
[03:07.00]I can't do without my kitchen man
[03:07.00]Oh, how that boy can open clam
[03:07.00]No one else is can touch my ham
[03:07.00]I can't do without my kitchen man
[03:07.00]When I eat his doughnuts
[03:07.00]All I leave is the hole
[03:07.00]Any time he wants to
[03:07.00]Why, he can use my sugar bowl
[03:07.00]Oh, his baloney's really worth a try
[03:07.00]Never fails to satisfy
[03:07.00]I can't do without my kitchen man
