I'm no good at chatting up and always get rebuffed Enough to drive a man to drink, I don't do no washing up I always reached the stuff piled up, piled up in the sink But you will always find him in the kitchen at parties Me and my girlfriend we argued and she ran away from home She must have found somebody new and now I'm all alone Living on my own, what am I supposed to do? That's why you'll always find him in the kitchen at parties You will always find him in the kitchen at parties You will always find him in the kitchen at parties Then I met this debutante, I said that I like new wave rock She was into French cuisine but I ain't no Cordon Bleu This was at some do in palmer's green, I had no luck with her You will still find him in the kitchen at parties You will still find him in the kitchen at parties At last I met a pretty girl, she laughed and talked with me We both walked out of the kitchen and danced in a new way And now I've done my time in the kitchen at parties I've done my time in the kitchen at parties He's done his time in the kitchen at parties He's done his time in the kitchen at parties He's done his time in the kitchen at parties He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
