Caledonia's Kitchen

Rattle them pots,
bang on your pans,
The rhythm you're making
has got this joint shaking,
You're cooking fine now,
you're looking fine now.
Rattle them pots and simmer.

Shake your salt shaker;
shake on your pepper,
it ain't quite hot.
Is that all you got?
Turn up the heat
get off of your seat,
get on your feet and just shine.

Stir up your pots,
ladel your soup,
the water is boiling
there's steam and you're broiling.
You've got my attention now,
did I ever mention how
I'm hungry for what you got cooking.

Caledonia, you thrill me,
your succulence fills me.
Turn up your burners
'cause I'm a quick learner.
You're looking fine now,
I've lost my mind now,
Caledonia, Caledonia you're mine.
