[Intro]
Yeah
Chef Boy-Ay-I
Apron on, attitude on high
We out of what?
(Wait, what?)
[Verse 1]
Open up the drawer like a DJ dig
Nothing in the slot but crumbs and a wig
Chicken on the counter, thawed, lookin’ smug
Recipe say “stir” — with what, my love?
Got pots, got pans, got knives, got tongs
Got ten weird lids that do not belong
Got three wine keys and zero spoons
This how villains in the kitchen bloom (mwahaha)
[Chorus]
Cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no spoons (no spoons)
Still whip it like I’m starin’ on a Food Cartoon (hey!)
Flip that bird, make it dance, that’s the move (that’s the move)
Stir it with a fork, with a cup, with the groove
We cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no spoons (no spoons)
Still sauced up, yeah, I’m drippin’ in the room (so saucy)
If life don’t give you tools, change the rules
Cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no spoons
[Verse 2]
Use a butter knife like a tiny oar
Row through the sauce, leave tracks on the floor
Whisk with a chopstick, poke then spin
Neighbor smell smoke, think I’m movin’ in
Grab one tortilla, fold like a glove
Use it as a spatula, show that love
Text mom, “Help,” she just types “Improvise”
Send a selfie with the bird, got grease in my eyes (cheese!)
[Chorus]
Cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no spoons (no spoons)
Still whip it like I’m starin’ on a Food Cartoon (yeah)
Flip that bird, make it dance, that’s the move (ayy, ayy)
Stir it with a fork, with a cup, with the groove
We cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no spoons (no spoons)
Still sauced up, yeah, I’m drippin’ in the room
If life don’t give you tools, change the rules
Cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no—
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to claps and bass]
Use a coffee mug
Use a cereal bowl
Use a clean hand
(Okay, maybe not that bold)
Use a salad tong
Use the lid, spin strong
If the taste hit right
Every method was “correct” all along (facts)
[Chorus]
Cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no spoons (no spoons)
Still whip it like I’m starin’ on a Food Cartoon (woah)
Flip that bird, make it dance, that’s the move (that’s the move)
Stir it with a fork, with a cup, with the groove
We cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no spoons (no spoons)
Whole house smellin’ like a five-star room
If life don’t give you tools, change the rules
Cookin’ chicken in a kitchen with no spoons (hey!)
