Quiche And Tell

My favorite kind of pie in the world isn’t sweet
We make it in December and we both overheat
Salty on my tongue when we’re cookin’ it up
Every saucy moment with a measuring cup

Cracked like a couple Grade A eggs
You whisk me away, sweep me right off my legs
First you add the custard then butter and flour
Hard to believe that it’s under an hour

Baking up the batter slowly getting better letting all the bitterness go
Put it on a platter to savor it together the hazy glazy glittering gold
So good I wanna’ talk about the taste and the smell
But baby I been taught pretty well not to quiche and tell

She’s the cheesiest the please and thank you easiest dish
Add the broccoli and spinach ham it up if you wish
Now it’s bacon and we’re milking it for all that we can
Turn it up and watch the dreamy steamy cream in the pan

Quiche me quick, quiche me right on the lips
Thyme to taste test all the fillings we whipped
One last quiche make it sloppy and wet
Watch it cool on the rack as the porcelain sweats

Baking up the batter slowly getting better letting all the bitterness go
Put it on a platter to savor it together hazy glazy glittering gold
So good I wanna’ talk about the taste and the smell
But baby I been taught pretty well not to quiche and tell

A quiche in the hand is worth two in the bouche
Delectable from Boston down to Baton Rouge
Something this delicious could never be wrong
C’mon baby quiche me all night long
