lyrics

When I see you
I get an urge to bite you
your savouriness on my tongue
an aftertaste for all day long.

You know
I´m really into cooking
and you would taste delicious
in one of my new dishes

I would send an invitation
to all of our best friends
and you would make the tastebuds glad
of both my mom and dad

Pick out the finest wines
from that French store you like
your grandma´s silverware
crystal, china by each chair.

Slicing, cutting, mashing, frying, glazing, cooking, boiling, peeling, stuffing, sautéing, steaming, stirring, tasting, salting, spicing, kneading, rolling, tossing, thickening, licking, parting , puréeing, working, burning, plucking, mincing, hashing, hacking, fritter, chopping you.

I would slice you
in carpaccio with my Wüsthof knife
from your earlobes right to your groin
and into fillet and tenderloin

In olive oil
I´d keep you, extra virgin
sprinkle you with salt and thyme
and marinate you over time

Every recipe looks better
when you´re a part of it
the starter: tender muscles
with white wine and mussels

For main course: Foi de you
with saffron sauce and truffles
my love, my Kobe beef
medium rare with a bay leaf

Dessert, my final touch
chocolates from your sweetened fat
with this menu and a cigar
you could be my Michelin star

poaching, stewing, coddling, canning, conserving, peeling, gutting, smoking, drying, draining, straining, whisking, grating, baking, blending, simmering, roasting, toasting, grilling, filling, flipping, basting, seasoning, stewing, coating, browning, combining, dicing, mincing, cubing you

On the grand night
the guests in their best evening dress
and as you slowly roast
I would rise, propose a toast
to you – my Michelin star
