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)
