Hooray, it’s a short work week! I put together a little playlist for Thanksgiving. It’s a little more cohesive and mellow than last year’s; I also had a lot of fun finding jazz songs about food (and Dave Brubeck covering “My Favorite Things”). Click to play below or listen online here.
Do you know “Bread Pan”? Since Roosevelt Sykes never went to Tehran, I’m wondering about taxi-cab riding sins… but the rest is pretty clear 😉
I met a sweet woman last night, gee but she was just my size,
I met a sweet woman last night, she was just my size,
I taken her home with me, just to bake my cakes and pies!
She’s a good kitchen mechanic, knows how to make my biscuit rise,
She’s a good kitchen mechanic, she knows how to make my biscuit rise,
She use the best bakin’ powders, an’ I declare her pan is just my size!
Makes my bread rise late hours in the night,
She makes my bread rise late hours in the night,
When I put my bread in her pan, I shoves it clean out of sight!
Oh-oh, I found my type o’ woman at last,
Oh-oh, I found my type o’ woman at last,
She is just my size, an’ I declare she ain’t too fast!
She don’t run around ridin’ in taxi cabs,
She don’t run around ridin’ in taxi cabs,
She is much sweeter than the woman that I used to have!
Oh my! Those dirty old blues songs…
