MY STOVE'S IN GOOD CONDITION
(Lil Johnson)


Lil Johnson - 1936



I've got a range in my kitchen
Sure bakes nice and brown
I've got a range in my kitchen
Sure bakes nice and brown
All I need is some good daddy
To turn my damper down

And my stove is automatic
You don't have to burn wood or coal
And my stove is automatic
You don't have to burn wood or coal
I just strike your match, baby
And stick it right in the hole

And it's yes, yes, baby
My stove is all cleaned out
And it's yes, yes, baby
My stove is all cleaned out
I always keep it in good condition
You know what I'm talkin' about

Mmmmm
My pot is boiling low
Mmmmm
My pot is boiling low
If you can't keep it percolatin',
Baby, I swear you'll have to go

I don't want no charcoal
If you can't bake my biscuits brown
I don't want no charcoal
If you can't bake my biscuits brown
When my oven gets too hot
I swear you'll have to turn my damper down
