[Verse 1: Female] Mama’s in the kitchen, humming soft and low Simmering the supper, letting all her secrets show That old tune’s got a twist, like a wink behind her eyes Every note’s a little story, under smoky midnight skies [Pre-Chorus: Male] Oh, that melody’s a mystery, wrapped in satin thread Whispered in the shadows where the blues and flavors wed [Chorus: Both] Humming low, mama’s cooking slow That sly grin’s telling stories only the night will know Humming low, watch the fire glow In the heart of the kitchen where the love’s set to flow [Verse 2: Male] I catch that hum and wonder where the rhythm’s gonna go Like the sweetest kind of secret only she would know From the pot, a gentle bubble, like a low-down country song In the heat of her humming, nothing ever feels wrong [Pre-Chorus: Female] Yeah, that tune’s like velvet, thick and dark and warm A sly grin in the twilight, keeping safe from every storm [Chorus: Both] Humming low, mama’s cooking slow That sly grin’s telling stories only the night will know Humming low, watch the fire glow In the heart of the kitchen where the love’s set to flow [Bridge: Female] Spoon in hand, humming sand in the hourglass Every note a gentle secret that won’t let me pass [Male] Dark and sweet, like whiskey on the tongue That hum’s a fire burning, never quite done [Chorus: Both] Humming low, mama’s cooking slow That sly grin’s telling stories only the night will know Humming low, watch the fire glow In the heart of the kitchen where the love’s set to flow [Outro: Both, softly] Humming low... simmer slow... that sly smile steals the show...
