Hi Gary...a good rule to use when searching the D/T database is to use a part of the lyrics you KNOW is in the song....

TRY searching for DINAH.....you will find it...

On second thought...maybe you're talking about an old BOBBY BARE tune from several years ago!

Forgot about that one.....

I didn't find your song, Gary, but Cowpie has some good songs listed under the name of Bobby Bare (most are by Shel Silverstein, though). Cowpie is listed on our links page.

Momma and Poppa
Singing in the kitchen
Momma and Poppa
Singing in the kitchen
Momma and poppa
Singing in the kitchen,
Beating on the Pots and Pans!

Here we go
Singing in the kitchen...(etc.)

As I recall you could invent any sort of phrase you wanted for the verse which is extremely simple and can go on forever.

That's from memory, though.

Hope this helps.

The whole song, as performed by Shel Silverstein, I think, is in an earlier thread over here. Is this the song you meant?

Hi, Amos - this thread was refreshed by mistake, by somebody looking for a Donna Fargo song I transferred that request to another thread. I found three threads on Shel Silverstein's "Singin' in the Kitchen":

• SINGING IN THE KITCHEN: LYRICS?
• Lyr Req: Singing In The Kitchen
• "Singin' in the Kitchen, bangin' pots:Lyrics?

The other two threads have the lyrics.
