Tom Hiddleston and the Saddle Spring Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin'
Somethin' up with me?
Hey, sweet baby,
Don't you think maybe
We could find us
I got a Hot-Rod Ford
And a two-dollar bill
And I know a spot
Right over the hill
There's soda pop
And the dancin's free
So if you wanna have fun
Come along with me
Say, hey, good lookin'
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin'
Somethin' up with me?
I'm free and ready
So we can go steady
How's about savin'
All your time for me?
No more lookin'
I know I've been tooken
How's about keepin'
Steady company?
I'm gonna throw
My date-book over the fence
And find me one
For five or ten cents
I'll keep it
'Til it's covered with age
'Cause I'm writin' your name
Down on every page
Say hey, good lookin'
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin'
Somethin' up with me?

The song ends with the singer repeating the opening lines, asking the girl to cook something up with him.

NightAtTheOpera3
Overall the movie was a little lacking but you can tell Tom absolutely put 110% into his performance; acting AND singing.
Beeeeeeef
NightAtTheOpera3 AND playing guitar!!! 😍
Ella Voslinsky
I actually really enjoyed it. The actors were fantastic, the plot was very interesting and the movie was dynamic. It was difficult from an emotional point of view - it's never easy to see such an amazing talent disappearing because of drugs and alcohol. In general I think that this movie is really underrated.

Tom is literally the most perfect human being ugh his voice is so good!
Allyssa Schafer
100% YES
Joseph Stalin
He's alright but Hank Williams tops him
Fancy Monkey Man
@Joseph Stalin Coming from you, Stalin?
That means nothing.
Zachary Jaenish

Tom is not Hank. But admit it, Tom did a pretty great job 11/10 he's a whole english man that changed his accent and yodels what more can we ask for?
