Silly Saturday - In the Kitchen?

“I'm no good at chatting up, and always get rebuffed
Enough to drive a man to drink, I don't do no washing up
I always leave the stuff piled up
Piled up in the sink

But you will always find him in the kitchen at parties

Me and my girlfriend we argued, and she ran away from home
She must have found somebody new, and now I'm all alone
Living on my own
What am I supposed to do?

That's why you'll always find him in the kitchen at parties
You will always find him in the kitchen at parties
You will always find him in the kitchen at parties

Then I met this debutante I said "I like new wave rock"
She was into French cuisine, but I ain't no Cordon Bleu
This was at some do in Palmers Green
I had no luck with her

You will still find him in the kitchen at parties
You will still find him in the kitchen at parties

At last I met a pretty girl, she laughed and talked with me
We both walked out of the kitchen and danced in a new way
And now, I've done my time in the kitchen at parties
I've done my time in the kitchen at parties

He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
He's done his time in the kitchen at parties
He's done his time in the kitchen at parties”

Co-written by Jona Lewie and Keith Trussell (a.k.a. Keef Trouble), this synth-pop song was released as a single in 1980. The song entered the UK Singles Chart in May, reaching number 16 and staying in the charts for 11 weeks. In 2010, the song was used in a UK advert for IKEA kitchens, which features Lewie himself as the host of a party.
