It Only Takes a Taste (Acoustic)

[DR. POMATTER, spoken]

You remind me of a girl I once knew

Gah, by now she’s well in middle age

She’s probably 41, or 42

[JENNA, spoken]

Thank you?

[DR. POMATTER, spoken]

Oh god, no, no, what I meant was that —

(sung)

She was a waitress at a shop I used to frequent quite a lot

Nice teeth and small hands and snuck me goodies I couldn’t afford then

She was sweet to me

Reminds me of you

[JENNA, spoken]

Nobody ever really notices me that way

[DR. POMATTER, spoken]

She’d make the pies fresh every day

Like you, I guess but I must say

If pies were books yours would be Shakеspeare’s lettеrs

You remind me of her, but better

It only takes a taste

When it’s something special

It only takes a taste

When ya know it’s good

Sometimes one bite is more than enough

To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of

[JENNA]

That reminds me of a thing we would say

Me and my momma in the kitchen when we’d bake

She’d say Jenna, you can tell a whole story with a taste

[DR. POMATTER]

Yeah! Yeah that’s exactly what I mean

I swear that as those flavors mixed and melted I could hear the sirens sing

It was truly something special — one taste and I want the whole thing

I must say

It felt like I was carried away

Intoxicated, made me escape the room I was in

I can’t help but wonder how your hands must have felt

Creating such a masterful thing

[JENNA]

Just one bite

Caused all that wondering

[DR. POMATTER]

It only takes a taste

[JENNA & DR. POMATTER]

It only takes a taste when you know it’s good

Sometimes one bite is more than enough

To know you want more of the thing you just got a taste of
