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

[Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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, that 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

[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I've done my time in the kitchen at parties
I've done my time in the kitchen at parties

[Chorus]
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
