Shortenin' Bread

[Chorus] [2x] Mama's little baby loves shortening shortening Mama's little baby loves shortening bread [Verse 1] Put on the skillet Slip on the lid Mammy's going to make us some shortening bread And that ain't all Our mammy's going to do She's going to cook us some coffee, too [Chorus] [3x] [Verse 2] I slipped in the kitchen Raised up the lid I stole me a mess of that shortening bread I walked up to a pretty girl and I said Baby how'd you like some shortening bread [Chorus] [2x] [Verse 3] They caught me with the skillet They caught me with the lid They caught me with the girl eating shortening bread Six months for the skillet Six months for the lid Now I'm doing time for eating shortening bread [Chorus] [2x] Shortening Shortening bread Shortening Shortening bread [Chorus] [2x]
