Ellie: (in Katherine's body)
I'm uptight and neurotic
I crave complete control
But baby, I do magic with just a mixing bo-ow-owl
I somehow stay this skinny while baking giant cakes
I guess that's just my jam
Jam is who I am
I do
You do
What it takes!
You use what you got
Yeah, what you got
I'm bad--- at the cooking
I'm pretty damn good looking, right?
Tell me that I'm not
I'm one annoying human
But give me sage and
Cumin
I'm one hot shot
You bake your cake with what you got
Now Torrey here is nervous
I snap, and Torrey freaks
But look at her meringue, they're the perfect little peaks
She acts like I'm the boss
We both know it's not true
I dictate like a jerk, she somehow makes it work
Torrey: (spoken)
I do?
Ellie: (in Katherine's body, spoken)
You do.
Torrey:
Yes I do!
Ellie: (in Katherine's body)
'Cause that's what you got
It's what you got
What I got!
Rabbit-like reflexes
The key to our successes
You keep this kitchen hot
If I get all the glory, the credit goes to Torrey
'Cause I do squat
Torrey: (spoken)
What?
Ellie: (in Katherine's body)
And make it work with what you got
What you got!
Torrey:
What I got!
Ellie, Torrey & Ladies:
You! What you got!
Ellie: (in Katherine's body)
What I got!
Ladies:
You!
Ellie: (in Katherine's body)
Tomorrow I will marry a man that I just met
The wedding is insane
The cakes' the best you'll get
I'm cold and I'm withholding
And put that in your butt
But give this girl a knife
And hold on for dear life, 'cause she can cook!
All:
Yeah!
She can cook!
You...
You...
You...
You use what you got!
Yeah, what you got!
