Lyrics

I'll pile on the candy
It's such a pretty sight
It makes the food taste dandy
But my tummy hurts all night.

I'll put in some ingredients
But keep the rest for me
I'm not just disobedient
I'm careful, can't you see?

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
If the way is hazy
You gotta do the cooking by the book
You know you can't be lazy
Never use a messy recipe
The cake will end up crazy
If you do the cooking by the book
Then you'll have a cake.

We gotta have it made
You know that I love cake
Finally it's time to make a cake.

Making food is just like science
With tools that blend and baste
And every fun appliance
Gives the food a different taste.

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
If the way is hazy
You gotta do the cooking by the book
You know you can't be lazy
Never use a messy recipe
The cake will end up crazy
If you do the cooking by the book
Then you'll have a cake.

We gotta have it made
You know that I love cake
Finally it's time to make a cake
We gotta have it made
You know that I love cake
Finally it's time to make a...

You gotta do the cooking by the book.

...Cake.

NOTE: In the UK version of the song, the first and third lines were changed to I'll pile on the sweets and It makes the food taste a treat, respectively.

+}}"'''Cooking by the Book'''" is the song featured in the episode ''[[Swiped Sweets]]''. It is sung by [[Stephanie]], along with [[Ziggy]], [[Stingy]] and [[Pixel]].
-== Personality ==
+It was later featured in the episodes ''[[Miss Roberta]]'' and ''[[LazyTown's Greatest Hits]]''.
-Stingy, as his name implies, is the stingiest and greediest person in LazyTown. His catchphrase is "It's Mine!", which he says about almost everything, going as far as to having a song, [[The Mine Song]], where he claims that everything is LazyTown belongs to him. Most of the time, this is played for laughs or to the slight exasperation of his friends except in the episode '''''[[The Great Crystal Caper]]''''' where, after causing Sportacus to lose his crystal, Stingy finds and keeps it. He eventually gives it back and is deeply sorry and vows to try and do better at returning things that don't belong to him. His most prized possessions are his pink piggy-bank, simply called '''Piggy''', and his yellow toy-car, in which he can often be seen driving, or parked next to the Sports Field. Despite his greedy manner, he is a good friend who generally cares about them, and wouldn't let them down. He enjoys playing especially with his friends, but becomes hurt and angry, when he is excluded, or they don't want to play with him, as seen in '''''[[My Treehouse]]''''' when his friends exclude him from their "Friends Forever" club, on the basis that he can't work in a team (Later in the episode this is shown to be true, but he does immensely improve) he ties up the clubhouse with rope (While they are still inside!) and attempts to drag it away, he is stopped by Sportacus, who after asking him why, convinces the kids to let him join. He is very musical, with him shown on the Saxophone, Harmonica, Bass, and Recorder. He is great on roller-blades (Of which he owns many), and is quite good at soccer. He is very clean and hygienic (Owning ''many'' toothbrushes, and he even taught Ziggy how to brush his teeth!) As well as teaching the kids how important it is to clean up, and to keep everything tidy ('''''[[Trash Trouble]]''''').
+It was also released on the US soundtrack ''[[LazyTown (US soundtrack)|LazyTown]]'' and the UK soundtrack ''[[LazyTown - The Album]]''.
-His best friend is shown to be Ziggy. At the end of '''''[[The Great Crystal Caper]]''''', [[Trixie]] kisses him.

+I'll pile on the candy<br>
-Of all the characters, Stingy's outfits, are the most similar to each other.
+It's such a pretty sight<br>
-In the first play, Stingy's outfit, consists of a yellow suit, a large black bow-tie, and black shoes. When he is next seen again, in '''''[[Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ]]''''', his outfit is almost identical to his current one, except his shirt is short-sleeved, he has short socks, and black Oxford Shoes.''
+It makes the food taste dandy<br>
-His current outfit is, a long-sleeved button-up shirt, with small pale blue/grey lines, a daffodil yellow waistcoat, knee-length shorts in the same yellow, long white socks, dark brown loafers, a red bow-tie, with a polka-dot pattern, and cuff links. He is the only person in LazyTown besides Sportacus (Whose hair is always hidden) who has brown hair. He wears it short, with some of it being swept over to the other side.
+But my tummy hurts all night.
-He is of average height, he has a circle-shaped face, with dark brown eyes, and heavy eyelids.
