Lyrics
Say, hey, good-looking
Whatcha got cooking?
How’s about cooking somethin’ up with me?
Hey, sweet baby
Don’t you think maybe
We could find us a brand-new recipe?
I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There’s soda pop and the dancin’ is free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me, see?
Hey, good-looking
Whatcha got cooking?
How’s about cooking somethin’ up with me?
I’m free and ready
So we can go steady
How’s about saving all your time for me?
No more looking
I know I’ve been tooken
How’s about keeping steady company?
I’m gonna throw my date-book over the fence
And find me one for five or ten cents
I’ll keep it ’til it’s covered with age
‘Cause I’m writing your name down on every page
Say, hey good-looking
Whatcha got cooking?
How’s about cooking something up with me?
