Marvelene's got her apron on
She put up her rings and the woodstove's hot
Go on and gitcha another cup of coffee
We'll gossip just a little, brag about great grandchildren
Umm good things are cookin'
In Marvelene's kitchen
In Marvelene's kitchen
Man oh man what a sight to smell
All them homegrown veg'tables
Help yourself there's plenty left
Praise the Lord, pa** that good cornbread
I heard somebody say Amen
Good things are cookin'
In Marvelene's kitchen
In Marvelene's kitchen
Chew and spit and take your fits on the backporch
Leave your screamin' and your shoutin' outside
Put your politics down the hall in that parlour
'Cause she's fixin' up some real good times
Umm good things are cookin'
In Marvelene's kitchen
In Marvelene's kitchen
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Well we might as well join 'em friends
Nobody here can lick 'em when
Good things are cookin'
In Marvelene's kitchen
(Chorus)
