Pot Snitch Drill

Look at the stove,

man (look at it) Somebody talking to the counter

Who left the lid up?

Who ran and snitched on the pot?

Left the water boiling till it's hot (boiling hot!)

Told the

whole kitchen what we got Man turned state on the ceramic spot

(no cap) Snitched on the pot,

gave up the recipe Now the cast iron looking dead at me

Ceramic bowl held down the block for years Never broke down,

never showed no fears

Now you whisper at the precinct window Singing every measurement,

high and low (singing loud)

Told 'em two cups water and a pinch of salt Blaming the

seasoning like it's my fault Broke the street code with a wooden

spoon Singing every bubble beneath the moon (snitch!)

Who ran and snitched on the pot?

Left the water boiling till it's hot (boiling hot!)

Told the whole kitchen what we

got Man turned state on

the ceramic

spot (no cap)

Snitched on the

pot, gave up the recipe Now the cast iron looking dead at

me

Pyrex never spoke a word

Dutch oven didn't say what it heard (quiet)

Just you and a copper wire in the wall Watching the boiling

kettle

take the fall How you gonna rat on iron and steel?

Now the stove is an informant,

pilot light lit Writing down statements bit by bit (writing it down)

Got an apron in the courtroom giving evidence Saying that the simmer

didn't make

no

sense Left the burner running on

twelve past four Detectives kicking through the pantry door

All 'cause you broke the kitchen oath Now the burner and the

pot got charges on

both! Never trust a skillet with an open ear (never) Cast iron

silent for ten straight years

And you folded for nothing Turn off the gas (click,

click)
