The Matriarch's Secret
Words by Bryon Bowers
She was the Matriarch of the family
With a secret no one knew
She kept it locked away
From me and you
Guarded by a Buddhist boxer
From Kathmandu
Cook it up
Serve it up
Life is coming
Cook it up
Serve it up
I've been running
Cook it up
Serve it up
Sleep is comin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Family knows it
Cook it up
Serve it up
No big deal
Cook it up
Serve it up
You shoulda told us…
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Shake your booty
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'...
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'...
She's got a secret
No one to tell
A secret only she can smell
Throw it in the pot
a pinch of salt
A lotta pepper
a little bit more
and you'll feel better
Cook it up
Serve it up
Life is coming
Cook it up
Serve it up
I've been running
Cook it up
Serve it up
Sleep is comin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Family knows it
Cook it up
Serve it up
No big deal
Cook it up
Serve it up
You shoulda told us…
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Shake your booty
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'...
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'...
If you'd told us
There would've been no judgment
Life is hard enough
Fighting our own demons
No need to throw others'
Into the crockpot
Cook it up
Serve it up
Love is easy
Cook it up
Serve it up
Stop your runnin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Start your dreamin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Family knows it
Cook it up
Serve it up
Slay your Demons
Cook it up
Serve it up
Sleep in Peace
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'...
Cook it up
Serve it up
Keep on dancin'...
