Mornin',  I'll be gettin' up
Mornin', I'll be settin' up
A tiny table for two

Breakfast, I'll be makin' him
Breakfast, he'll be takin' his 
Shave and his shower
My happy hour

The coffee is steaming
Oh boy, what I'm dreaming
While I'm cooking breakfast
For the one I love

My baby likes bacon
And that's what I'm makin'
While I'm cooking breakfast
For the one I love

Our life has been so nice and chummy
Right from the start
When I won his tummy
I won his heart

My baby is happy
No wonder I'm happy
While I'm cooking breakfast
For the one I love

I'm baking a biscuit
He's willing to risk it
While I'm cooking breakfast
For the one I love

He's wipin' the dishes
And he's breakin' the dishes
While I'm cooking breakfast
For the one I love

I serve a plate of steaming oatmeal
Taste it, but shucks
Who the heck likes oatmeal
Sprinkled with 'Lux'

To show that he's grateful
He eats a big plateful
And he faints right after breakfast
For the one he loves
