Give me a spoiled pear
A mouldy strawberry
Then a bitter nut
And a knife to cut

It’s very kind of you, you’re helping me to cook
But to prepare my fruit flan, Baby, that’s my look

The fried potatoes
The smashed tomatoes
The grated cheese
The plum to squeeze

It’s very kind of you, you’re helping me to cook
But to prepare my hot pot, Baby, that’s my look

Pateng, Pateng, Pateng, Pateng
Pateng, Pateng, Pateng, Patengteng

Where’s my apron, yes I need one
‘Cause without I am a fool and very lonesome
Where did we go wrong, smell a wicked pong
You sizzle the snail in the pan too long

And the canned greens with the green beans
They should be ready, but by no means
Come on and look at the dessert
Cold as ice, is it hazard ?

Look, the red beans and the biscuits
More inviting to drink shit and eat misfits
Gimme dressing and gimme some oil
The salad looks like vomit, but is not royal

In addition, my decision’s bad
A kitchenhelp, I’ve never had
My darling, last but not least
My cooking vessel, it is leased

I will forget soon
So give me the spoon
And then the fork
For chips and pork

It’s very kind of you, you set the table good
But to prepare the napkins, Baby, that’s my look

Digger, digger, digger, digger, digger, digger, digger, digger
Must dig a hole for you, best for you is to run
Digger, digger, digger, digger, digger, digger, digger, digger
Hope, that the death gets you, that’s for you, what have you done ?

However you do it, the greatest shit
But tit for tat, you have to pay for it
What’s the difference between
Salt’n’pepper and salad green

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,...
Open the door, can you remember how the table looked before
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na,...
Open the door, believe me, I will do it nevermore

Look at the guests, what’s up with them?
Creeping to the loo as good as they can
Seldom cried with laughter
Be my kitchenhelp
