COOKIES
G B7 Em C

G) I got a lawn to mow. B7) Weeds to hoe.
Em) Cans I need to cash in at C) Recycle rodeo
Thots I need to think. Sites I need to link
Piles of dirty dishes waiting in the sink
But I got A) cookies in the kitchen
and that’s all I can think D) about

I try to concentrate but it’s too late
To worry about my weight or a little tooth decay
Sugar substitutes. Unsaturated fat
And that mono sodium nitrate can’t be where it’s at
But I got cookies in the kitchen
And that’s all I can think about

C) Cookies in the kitchen. Bm) Cookies on my mind
Am) A snack of milk and cookies can C) help a man D) unwind

G) Peanut butter cookies. B7) Buttered macaroons
Em) Cookies made of oatmeal on a C) sunny afternoon
I can smell ‘em coolin’ as I wander down the hall
I think I’ll grab a couple. No. I think I’ll eat ‘em all
I got A) cookies in the kitchen and that’s all I can think about

C) Cookies in the kitchen. Bm) Cookies on my mind
Am) A snack of milk and cookies can C) help a man D) unwind

Give me sugar cookies. Give me a ginger snap
A plate of chocolate chips and a thirty-minute nap
Danish wedding cookies and some frozen cookie dough
But those cookies on your computer aren’t really cookies, you know!

(C) 2010 Royal T Music

One sunny afternoon, many years ago, I was headed to Dallas for the song critique circle at Bruce and Lisa’s… without a new song. That would be the waste of a trip, and it was back when it cost $10+ to go to Dallas and back. So, once I got in their neighborhood, I pulled into the shade in a church parking lot and wrote this song.
