[Jimmy:]
Hey, Hey, Good Lookin', whatcha got cookin'
How's about cookin' something up with me
[George Strait:]
Hey, sweet baby, don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe.
[Alan Jackson:]
I got a hot rod Ford and a two dollar bill
[Clint Black:]
And I know a spot right over the hill
There's soda pop and the dancin's free
So if you want to have fun come a- long with me.
[Kenny Chesney:]
Say Hey, Good Lookin', whatcha got cookin'
[Toby Keith:]
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me.
[Jimmy:]
Let's stir it up boys.
[Jimmy:]
I'm free and I'm ready

[Clint:]
How's about savin' all your time for me
[Kenny:]
No more lookin',
[Toby:]
I know I've been tooken
[George:]
How's about keepin' steady company.
[Kenny:]
I'm gonna throw my date book over the fence
[Toby:]
And find me one for five or ten cents.
[George:]
I'll keep it 'til it's covered with age
[Clint:]
'Cause I'm writin' your name down on ev'ry page.
[All:]
Hey, Hey, Good Lookin',
[Alan:]
Whatcha got cookin'
[Jimmy:]
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me.
[Clint:]
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me.




[George:]
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me.

Overall Meaning

The song "Hey Good Lookin'" is an upbeat country classic that features four of the genre's most iconic singers: Alan Jackson, George Strait, Jimmy Buffett, and Clint Black. The song is a playful invitation to a potential romantic partner to cook something up together, using food as a metaphor for love and companionship. Each verse features a different singer adding their own twist to the invitation, with a chorus that brings them all together in harmony.


The lyrics are essentially a call-and-response between the singers, with each one offering their own version of the titular invitation. From Jimmy Buffett's energetic opening to Clint Black's smooth delivery, each verse adds something unique to the song. George Strait's verse, in particular, stands out for its gentle, almost pleading tone: "Hey sweet baby, don't you think maybe / We could find us a brand new recipe." This contrast between playful flirtation and genuine emotion creates a dynamic and engaging listening experience.
