[Dr. Pomatter:]
You know what's kinda funny? Just seeing you, sitting here, all by yourself in your uniform
You remind me of a girl I once knew
Gah, by now she's well in middle age
Probably 41, 42
[Jenna:]
Huh, thank you?
[Dr. Pomatter:]
What? Oh my god no no no no
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 too
Reminds me of you
[Jenna:]
Hmm... oh, well, nobody ever really notices me that way, so...
[Dr. Pomatter:]
Somebody did, right?
[Jenna:]
Hmm?
[Dr. Pomatter:]
No because you have the, the baby, you'd...
She'd make the pies fresh every day
Like you, I guess but I must say
If pies were books yours would be Shakespeare's letters
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 the whole story with a taste
[Dr. Pomatter:]
Yeah! no that's exactly what I mean
I swear that as those flavours 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
[Both:]
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
