lyrics

“Ain’t that the way to burn a good spatula,” she said
"Just by stirring the pot, Just by starting your day"
Ain’t that the way to mess up without really trying,
Not mean what you say
Ain’t that the way to really cook my egg.

I showed up,
Not at my best,
And I’m starting all over again.
Rock, paper, scissors
That’s my guess,
If it’s gonna be alright
My finest work: this isn’t it;
And I’m starting all over,
All over again.

1-2-3 pick a door, any door, it don’t matter which one you try for
They’re all locked or jammed anyway.
No magic word, no ringing bell, just the same old stoop and step--
Oh, hell. I guess I'll take my traveling salesman ass back to Santa Fe.

To each her own, won't pick no nits or bones about it,
But I lost and found it
Just to lose it again and again and again and again

“Ain’t that the way to burn a good spatula,” she said
"Just by stirring the pot."
Hot damn I’m stirring the pot again.
Ain’t that the way.
