I'm Making Dinner Tonight

This is loosely based on one of my childhood attempts to make dinner all by myself!
I’m making dinner tonight, so just you wait
I’ll be cooking something special, and it’ll be just great
I’ll take my favorite foods, and cook ‘em up just right
So everyone out of the kitchen, I’m making dinner tonight
I’ll do it all by myself, how hard can it be
I’ve watched mom make dinner before
It doesn’t look too tricky to me
I’m making dinner tonight, so just you wait
I’ll be cooking something special, and it’ll be just great
I’ll take my favorite foods, and cook ‘em up just right
So everyone out of the kitchen, I’m making dinner tonight
Well this is a breeze, and so much fun
We’ll see how happy my family will be
When their dinner is done
I’m making dinner tonight, so just you wait
I’ll be cooking something special, and it’ll be just great
I’ll take my favorite foods, and cook ‘em up just right
So everyone out of the kitchen, I’m making dinner tonight
I put the food on the table, they sure looked surprised
Then it was time for all of us, to give my dinner a try
We all took a big bite, we chewed it all up
We all looked at each other and said YUCK!
I made dinner tonight, it didn’t turn out too great
I’m afraid if we eat it, we’ll all get a tummy ache
I used my favorite foods, but it didn’t come out right
Hey I’ve got a good idea
Let’s go out for dinner tonight
