**Lyrics**:

Microwave oven  
You’re so unconventional  
Microwave oven  
Bombarding my food with  
Electromagnetic radiation  
It sure is a long way  
From roasting chestnuts  
On a open fire  
You’re good at reheating  
Not so good at caramelizing  
It’s not surprising  
That foodies don’t respect you  
Microwave oven  
Your magnetron’s your most important part  
Invented by New Englander Percy Spencer  
(Is it ready yet?)  
The Raytheon corporation filed your patent  
(Is it time to eat)  
I close your door and then the magic happens  
(I'm so hungry I could scream)  
As polarized molecules inside my food  
Start to rotate resulting in thermal energy  
Microwave oven  
You’re awfully economical  
It’s almost comical  
How quickly you make ramen noodles  
Wonderful oven  
You make a noise to let me know you’re done  
It’s time to eat, the food is done  
It might be hot, don’t burn your tongue
