Paroles de Scullery

You're my picture by Picasso

Lighting up our scullery

With your pans and pots and hot-plates
You'd brighten up any gallery.



I could paint a different picture

Leafy lanes and flower scenes

But amid your cooking mixture

You still have ingredients that make you shine

And when you take your apron off I know you're mine.



You're my photogenic model

From the glossy magazine


I could take a different picture

Rolling hills and flowing gowns

But amid the foaming texture

Dirty linen isn't all that starts to shine

In rubber gloves and faded jeans you still look fine.



INSTRUMENTAL



I could paint a different picture

Leafy lanes and flower scenes

But amid your cooking mixture

You still have ingredients that make you shine

And when you take your apron off I know you're mine.
