Oh, I can cook, too, on top of the rest, My seafood's the best in the town. And I can cook, too. My fish can't be beat, My sugar's the sweetest around. I'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal Right down to the demi-tasse. I'm a pot of joy for a hungry boy, Baby, I'm cooking with gas. Oh, I'm a gumdrop, A sweet lollipop, A brook trout right out of the brook, And what's more, baby, I can cook!

Hey,good looking!
What you got cooking?
Hows about cooking something up with me?
Don't know who did this originally but it was used for an advert for a few years (can't remember what it was advertising either...)
Hank Williams did the original, in the 1940's or early 50s
While you're reading a book
I'll cook a stew
Then I'll bake a plum puff

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip, he knows what cooks

Father's hunting in the forest,
Mother's cooking in the home.
I must go to fetch the water,

Fishy, fishy, in the brook,
Papa catch it with a hook.
Mama cook it in the pan;
Baby eats it like a man.

If I knew you were coming,
I'd have baked a cake.
