Chocolate chip cookie dough:
You know how I love that!
I can’t help myself.
It may be a risk to my health.
Who’d want golden brown?
It’s better as dough!
I prefer the stickier kind,
And I’ve risked it a thousand times
When it’s on my fingers or in the spoon,
Can’t help licking it off.
I might try my apron front.
And there’s nowhere that I won’t stoop.
I can’t help myself,
So, I just help myself
Though chocolate chip cookie dough
Is less cooked than an egg should be,
I can’t help myself,
It’s a food I love you see.
Now I could get salmonella,
Could get really sick. This I know.
But every time I mean to bake,
I eat all the cookie dough.
When they’re on the tray,
I can’t let them stay,
Burning on the sheet:
Better just to eat.
I almost hear their calls,
Those tasty butter balls.
It’s chocolate chip cookie dough.
Why else would I bake at all?
I can help myself:
I just raid the Frigidaire shelf.
Chocolate chip cookie dough
Is made with uncooked flour too.
I can’t help myself.
I've heard both are risks to my health.
Chocolate chip cookie dough:
You how that I love that!
I can’t help myself,
So, I just help myself.
