about

This is a song about how we don't *want* to eat the men, but they just seem to keep climbing in our witchy little ovens...

Recorded for Metricula's weekly 6at6 show, this live version is a fresh mix of the debut performance of the song!

lyrics

Oh I keep my oven warmed up
to fend off the bitter cold
But men keep jumping right in
Without having to be told

Old ones and young ones
Strong ones and fun ones
Whiners and stoics alike

CHORUS
why do men
Keep climbing in my oven
Why do men
Keep pushing the line
Why do men
Want me to eat them
Why do men
think they taste just fine

Oh I keep some mir poise on hand
To make a delicious stew
But men keep replacing the beef
And I have to start anew

Carrots and celery
Onions and salt
But men don’t make a good broth

CHORUS
why do men
Keep climbing in my oven
Why do men
Keep pushing the line
Why do men
Want me to eat them
Why do men
think they taste just fine

BRIDGE
Oh I don't want to eat you
But you make it so easy
Oh I don't want to glaze you
you're already greasy
I don't want to carve you up like a ham
good god damn

CHORUS
why do men
Keep climbing in my oven
Why do men
Keep pushing the line
Why do men
Want me to eat them
Why do men
think they taste just fine

Stringy and fatty
Mouthy and bony
Bathing in marinade

CHORUS
why do men
Keep climbing in my oven
Why do men
Keep pushing the line
Why do men
Want me to eat them
Why do men
think they taste just fine

CHORUS
why do men
Keep climbing in my oven
Why do men
Keep pushing the line
Why do men
Want me to eat them
Why do men
think they taste just fine
