Hey Good Lookin'

Hows about cookin' something up with me?
Hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'?
Hows about cookin' something up with me?
I'm free and ready so we can go steady
Hows about keeping steady company
I'm gonna throw my name book over the fence
Buy myself one for five or ten cents
Keep it till it's covered with age
'Cos I'm writing your name on every page
Hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'?
Hows about cookin' something up with me?
Hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'?
Hows about cookin' something up with me?
Hey, good lookin' what you got cookin'?
Hows about cookin' something up with me?
Hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe
That we could find a brand new recipe?
I've got a hopped up Ford and a ten dollar bill
I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancing's free
So if you wanna have fun come along with me
Hey, good lookin'
Hey, good lookin'
Hey, good lookin'
