Dolls in the Kitchen

Carole King - Chicken Soup With Rice

Bon ça y'est, le printemps est bien installé : le ciel bleu fait son grand retour pour plus d'une demie-journée d'affilé, les étourneaux gazouillent et des pollens de la taille de virevoltants ennio-morriconiens viennent nous chatouiller espièglement les naseaux.

Emplies d'un sentiment de joie et de contentement que ne renierait pas Yayoi Kusama choppant la rougeole, les Dolls ont décidé d'inaugurer un nouveau rendez-vous, la chanson (culinaire) du dimanche, qui correspondra comme son nom l'indique en un post hebdomadaire mis en ligne le dimanche et traitant de musique (cinquième art après tout) et de miam-miam.

Hum, soyons réalistes, 52 semaines, 52 chansons, si on veut garder la qualité…

Donc précisons d'avance que le film (culinaire) du dimanche, le roman (culinaire) du dimanche, voir la chanson (de dolls) du dimanche feront sans nul doute leur apparition au détour d'un weekend.

Bref, cessons de vous faire saliver et inaugurons ce venteux dimanche par un petit Chicken Soup With Rice de Carole King, adaptation animée de la comédie musicale du même nom, issue elle-même d'un livre éponyme de Maurice Sendak !

PS : Prenez le temps de lire les paroles, vous ne mangerez plus de soupe de poulet de la même façon !

Carole King - Chicken Soup With Rice

In January it's so nice

While slipping on the sliding ice

To sip hot chicken soup with rice

Sipping once, sipping twice

Sipping chicken soup with rice

In February it will be

My snowman's anniversary

With cake for him and soup for me!

Happy once, happy twice

Happy chicken soup with rice

In March the wind blows down the door

And spills my soup upon the floor

It laps it up and roars for more

Blowing once, blowing twice

Blowing chicken soup with rice

In April I will go away

To far off Spain or old Bombay

And dream about hot soup all day

Oh, my, oh, once, oh, my, oh, twice

Oh, my, oh, chicken soup with rice

In May I truly think it best

To be a robin lightly dressed

Concocting soup inside my nest

Mix it once, mix it twice

Mix that chicken soup with rice

In June I saw a charming group

Of roses all begin to droop

I pepped them up with chicken soup!

Sprinkle once, sprinkle twice

Sprinkle chicken soup with rice

In July I'll take a peep

Into the cool and fishy deep

Where chicken soup is selling cheap

Selling once, selling twice

Selling chicken soup with rice

In August it will be so hot

I will become a cooking pot

Cooking soup of course-why not?

Cooking once, cooking twice

Cooking chicken soup with rice

In September, for a while

I will ride a crocodile

Down the chicken soup-y Nile

Paddle once, paddle twice

Paddle chicken soup with rice

In October I'll be host

To witches, goblins and a ghost

I'll serve them chicken soup on toast

Whoopy once, whoopy twice

Whoopy chicken soup with rice

In November's gusty gale I will flop my flippy tail

And spout hot soup-I'll be a whale!

Spouting once, spouting twice

Spouting chicken soup with rice

In December I will be

A baubled, bangled Christmas tree

With soup bowls draped all over me

Merry once, merry twice

Merry chicken soup with rice

I told you once, I told you twice

All seasons of the year are nice

For eating chicken soup
