Singin' in the Kitchen

Bobby Bare · Singin' in the Kitchen (w. Family) [RCA Victor] [1974]

(Shel Silverstein)

(Okay, that's the end of that. Now everybody say goodbye.

Here we go again!)

Singin' in the kitchen all together

Now singin' in the kitchen

Everybody singin' in the kitchen

Bangin' on the pots and pans.

Well, mommy and daddy singin' in the kitchen

Baby laughin', singin' in the kitchen

All the kids singin' in the kitchen

Bangin' on the pots and pans.

Here we go now singin' in the kitchen

All together now singin' in the kitchen

Everybody singin' in the kitchen

Bangin' on the pots and pans...

Singin' in the Kitchen

Bobby Bare's 1974 single "Singin' in the Kitchen" stands as a quintessential example of his late-career country-pop crossover appeal. Recorded for RCA Victor, the track showcases Bare's signature smooth vocal delivery and his ability to blend traditional storytelling with upbeat, danceable rhythms. Released alongside "She Thinks I Can," the song reflects the polished production style that characterized his work in the mid-1970s, moving away from the raw acoustic roots of his earlier hits like "Folsom Prison Blues." The recording captures the warmth and charm of Bare's persona, appealing to a broad audience while maintaining the lyrical focus on domestic life and personal sentiment that defined his discography. It remains a notable song in his catalog, demonstrating his versatility as a performer well into the 1970s.
