A Red Sauce Recipe in 4/4 time

Two onions chopped up very fine, a pepper finer still
A portobello mushroom, maybe sauteed maybe grilled
A handful of tomatoes, skinned and seeded sliced and chopped
And a little bit of carrot minced up fine and closely cropped

I can't cook a thing without my chopping knife
I can't cook a thing without my chopping knife
I've never used another in all my blessed life
No I can't cook a thing without my chopping knife

A little roasted garlic, two bulbs or maybe three
A scoop of roasted eggplant will make good company
Some sundried tomatoes, julienned would do the trick
And olive oil, just enough so nothing's gonna stick

I can't cook a thing without my cutting board
I can't cook a thing without my cutting board
It was here when we were packing but I don't know where it's stored
No I can't cook a thing without my cutting board

Some parsley leaves, some basil, a bay leaf for a while
A dash of cayenne pepper sauce is sure to bring a smile
Some black and white ground pepper and oregano for spice
I can smell the sauce throughout the house its come out really nice

I can't cook a thing without my gallon pot
I can't cook a thing without my gallon pot
The darn thing was in the cupboard but now I find it's not
No I can't cook a thing without my gallon pot
Oh I can't cook a thing without my gallon pot


OK, let's just call out for Chinese.




And yes, not only have I cooked this recipe, I have sung this song.
