What's On the Menu For Tonight

My girlfriend's coming over And I'm looking to impress Thought I'd whip us up some dinner So there's no time to regress I drove a couple of miles To the local grocery store Grabbed everything I needed And then rushed right out the door I got back to my kitchen And broke out my pots and pans Wrapped the filet mignon in bacon And secured with metal bands I've been cooking all my life And I love it to this day A master in the kitchen Like Iron Chef Bobby Flay At the stroke of seven thirty I heard a knocking at my door She came in looking like a Queen Wearing a smile and not much more After a hug and sloppy kiss I then took her by the hand We sat down at the table And our dinner then began To enhance the steak filet I sauteed a little shallot Like a taste dropped from Heaven So exquisite on the palate More than halfway through the meal We were both just feeling fine It may have been the food Or our second glass of wine Then to finish off our dinner With a final bit of YUM I made Bananas Foster And flambeed it with some rum The expression on her face Was a look of sheer delight The last thing on the menu Will be sweet sweet love tonight
