Hey Good Lookin'
Tammy Wynette · My Elusive Dreams (David Houston & Tammy Wynette) [Epic] [1967]
Hey, hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' something up with me
Hey, hey, sweet baby don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe.
You got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.
Hey, hey, good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' something up with me?
--- Instrumental ---
I'm free and ready so we can go steady
How's about savin' all your time for me
No more lookin' I know I've been tooken
How's about keepin' steady company?
I'm gonna throw my datebook over the fence
Gonna get another for five or ten cents
I'll keep it till it's covered with age
'Cause I'm writin' your name on every page.
Hey, hey, good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me
Hey, good lookin' whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me.
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me...
Hey Good Lookin'
Tammy Wynette's rendition of 'Hey Good Lookin'' appears on the 1967 duet album My Elusive Dreams, recorded alongside David Houston. While the title track is famously associated with Hank Williams, Wynette's version showcases her early ability to interpret classic country material with her signature emotive style. This recording captures a pivotal moment in her career, demonstrating her versatility beyond the heartbreak anthems that would later define her legacy as the First Lady of Country Music. The song reflects the upbeat, traditional country sound prevalent in the late 1960s, offering a lighter counterpoint to the more somber themes often found in her solo work. This collaboration highlights the strong vocal chemistry between Wynette and Houston, contributing to a rich discography that solidified her status as a cornerstone of the genre.
