Lyrics
Morning, I’ll be getting up
Morning, I’ll be setting up
A tiny table for two
Breakfast, I’ll be making his
Breakfast, he’ll be taking his
Shave and his shower
My happy hour
Chorus
The coffee is steaming
Oh boy, what I’m dreaming
While I’m cooking breakfast
For the one I love
My baby likes bacon
And that’s what I’m makin’
While I’m cooking breakfast
For the one I love
Our life has been so nice and chummy
Right from the start
When I won his tummy
I won his heart
My baby is happy
No wonder I’m happy
While I’m cooking breakfast
For the one I love
Chorus
I’m baking a biscuit
He’s willing to risk it
While I’m cooking breakfast
For the one I love
Hе’s wiping the dishes
And brеaking the dishes
While I’m cooking breakfast
For the one I love
I serve a plate of steaming oatmeal
Taste it, but shucks
Who the heck wants oatmeal
Sprinkled with ‘Lux’
To show that he’s grateful
He eats a big plateful
And he faints right after breakfast
For the one he loves
