Now we’re cooking with burning tires.
Now we’re cooking with motor oil.
Now we’re cooking with uranium.
Now we’re cooking with turpentine.
Now we’re cooking with Vaseline.
Now we’re cooking with napalm.
Now we’re cooking with greasy kid’s stuff.
Now we’re cooking with Grand Funk Railroad.
Now we’re cooking with furniture polish.
Now we’re cooking with Sterno.
Now we’re cooking with lighter fluid.
Now we’re cooking with sulphuric acid.
Now we’re cooking with KY jelly.
Now we’re cooking with anti-freeze.
Now we’re cooking with Agent Orange.
Now we’re cooking.
