PUT ANOTHER LOG ON THE FIRE
Put another log
On the fire.
Cook me up some bacon
And some beans.
And go out to the car
And change the tire.
Wash my socks
And sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, Baby,
You can fill my pipe,
And then go
Fetch my slippers.
And boil me up
Another pot of tea.
Then put another log
On the fire, Babe,
And come and tell me
Why you're leaving me.
SHELDON SILVERSTEIN WROTE THE LYRICS AND MUSIC FOR
"PUT ANOTHER LOG ON THE FIRE" IN 1974.
THAT SAME YEAR, TOMPALL GLASER RECORDED THE SASSY LITTLE SONG THAT WAS
A COUNTRY MUSIC HIT.
"COOK ME UP SOME BACON AND SOME BEANS" BECAME A FAVORITE PHRASE IN HOUSEHOLDS!

Now don't I let you wash
The car on Sunday?
Don't I warn you
When you're gettin fat?
Ain't I a-gonna take you
Fishin' with me someday?
Well, a man can't love a woman
More than that!
Ain't I always nice
To your kid sister?
Don't I take her
Driving every night?
So, sit here at my feet
'Cus I like you when you're sweet,
And you know
It ain't feminine to fight.
So, put another
Log on the fire.
Cook me up some bacon
And some beans.
Go out to the car and
Lift it up and change the tire.
Wash my socks
And sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, Baby,
You can fill my pipe,
And then go
Fetch my slippers.
And boil me up
Another pot of tea.
Then put another log
On the fire, Babe,
And come and tell me
Why you're leaving me.
