Settle down for a musical tour of four historical kitchens.

PARODY OF

Living in America by James Brown

MUSIC BY

Richie Webb

FROM

Series 10 Episode 6

LYRICS:

Wow! That feels hot

Cos I'm boiling my pot

We eat veggies a lot

That's all us poor folk have got

Boiled veg

My bed

(I got one room!)

Tudor kitchen is nice

I'm cooking with spice

Goodbye fire pit

Hello fireplace and spit

There's no bed

Cos instead

I got more rooms

Wow!

Living in a Tudor house

And knives and spoons are what we use

Yeah, living in a Tudor house

On the floor is where the sculliers snooze

I'm using pots

In fact, I got lots

(Yeah!) And dishes and pans

Full of pastries and flans

I roast

I bake

Pies and cake

Wow!

Cos I'm living in a Georgian house

Fewer spits, now ovens are it

I'm living in a Georgian house

Using coal makes cooking a stroll

Wow!

[Hey, should I take it to the fridge?

Take it to the fridge.

To my brand-new fridge.

And do you like my washing machine? Oh!]

The room's got lights

Now we're cooking at night

I got a sink

To wash away stink

Hot tap

Drying rack

And a dishwasher, too

So now we're living in a '50s house

All mod cons we can't do without

Living in a '50s house

We're better off

So let's eat out
