TOO MUCH MUSTARD ("TRÈS MOUTARDE")
(Music: Cecil Macklin / Lyrics: ?)

Teresa Brewer (with Les Brown & His Band Of Renown) - 1953



Too much mustard in the pot
Can make the beans too hot
Your kiss could hit the spot
Just cool it down

Too much mustard in the stew
Could spoil the stew for two
Oh babe, I'm beggin' you
Cool those kisses down

Lovin' is like a cake you bake
You can't make one mistake
If you want it just exactly right
Lovin' should mellow just like wine
Just take it easy and you'll do fine

Too much mustard, too much heat
Can spoil the finest meat
Your kissin' could be sweet
Just cool it down

Too much ketchup, too much spice
Can spoil the shrimp and rice
Oh babe, take my advice
Cool those kisses down

(Orchestral Break)

Pepper's mighty good on hash
Salt is fine on succotash
But for love use just a dash
Not too much seas'ning

Chili's mighty good on roast
Cinnamon is fine on toast
But if you love me the most
This is my reas'ning

Too much mustard in the pot
Can make the beans too hot
Your kiss could hit the spot
Just cool it down

Too much mustard in the stew
Could spoil the stew for two
Oh babe, I'm beggin' you
Cool those kisses down
