Whipped Cream Lyrics & Chords By Christine Lavin

Everyone thinks I'm serious
complicated perhaps aloof
but I am not mysterious
If you like, I'll give you proof

You see, the truth is I'm old fashioned
it's not just a cocktail I like to drink
what fuels my deepest passion
is not what you might think...

Whipped cream
piled high on pie or on ice cream
the shiny satiny silky peaks
how they gleam

Whipped cream...
the culinary equivalent of
moon beams
last night I had the most delicious dream
I dreamed I saw Julia Child floating on a cloud of whipped cream -- bon appetit!

The first time I went to Paris
the first thing I learned to say
was not"Ou est L'atour Eiffel?" uh-uh
it was 'frambois avec creme fraish, si vous plait'

whipped cream
takes the word 'scrumptious' to extremes
when I get too rambunctious nothing seems
to soothe my nerves
like a serving of...

Whipped cream... I admit
this song is nothing but a desperate scheme
to get one of you to order ice cream... topped
with a luscious dollop of whipped cream
... Here's your chance to catch the waiter's eye... if they don't have ice cream, pie is nice... it would be so helpful if it was one of you front tables so I can just lean down and eat a smidge between songs... want to buy me a drink after the show?... don't bother... unless of course it's a drink topped with whipped cream...

Now some of you might think that low-fat
is the modern way to go
well Julia Child had three words for low-fat whipped cream
No... no... no

whipped cream
just thinking of it boosts my self esteem
I'd even cheer this crooked Republican regime
if they would bribe me with a big bowl of...

Whipped cream
God bless the cow whose milk begat this theme
don't say Cool Whip unless you mean
to blaspheme the original... the glorious...
the fattening...the notorious...
the bows and flows of angel hair
oops that's another song... but I don't care
about anything... but
whipped cream
please Julia Child, can I have some more?
