  • I'm no good at chatting up and always get rebuffed
    Enough to drive a man to drink, I don't do no washing up
    I always reached the stuff piled up, piled up in the sink

    But you will always find him in the kitchen at parties

    Me and my girlfriend we argued and she ran away from home
    She must have found somebody new and now I'm all alone
    Living on my own, what am I supposed to do?

    That's why you'll always find him in the kitchen at parties
    You will always find him in the kitchen at parties
    You will always find him in the kitchen at parties

    Then I met this debutante, I said that I like new wave rock
    She was into French cuisine but I ain't no Cordon Bleu
    This was at some do in palmer's green, I had no luck with her

    You will still find him in the kitchen at parties
    You will still find him in the kitchen at parties

    At last I met a pretty girl, she laughed and talked with me
    We both walked out of the kitchen and danced in a new way

    And now I've done my time in the kitchen at parties
    I've done my time in the kitchen at parties

    He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
    He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
    He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
    He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
