Too much mustard in the pot
can make the beans too hot.
Your kiss could hit the spot,
Too much mustard in the stew
could spoil a stew for two.
Oh babe, I'm beggin' you,
Lovin' is like a cake you bake
You can't make one mistake
If you want it just exactly right
Lovin' should mellow just like wine
Just take it easy and you'll do fine
Too much mustard, too much heat
Can spoil the finest meat
Your kissin' could be sweet,
Too much ketchup, too much spice
Can't spoil the shrimp and rice
Pepper's mighty good on hash
Salt is fine on succotash
But for love you's just a dash
Chili's mighty good on roast
Cinnamon is fine on toast
But if you love me the most
Can make the beans too hot
Your kiss could hit the spot
Too much mustard in the stew
Could spoil a stew for two
Oh, babe, I'm beggin' you,
