I don't like cake, I don't like pie
I don't like sweets and I'll tell you why

Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
If you want my love you better see that I'm well fed

Ooh you got a recipie that can't be beat
Honey you got a recipie that can't be beat
When you start cookin' ohh it's such a treat

But mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
If you want my love you better see that I'm well fed

Ooh you rock me baby everytime you roll that dough
I say you rock me baby everytime you roll that dough
Oh mix it up good get out your skillet and go-go-go

I don't like wheat, I don't like rye
I don't like white and I'll tell you why

Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
If you want my love you better see that I'm well fed

When you roll that dough my heart goes flippety-flop
When you roll that dough my heart goes flippety-flop
If you want my lovin' honey keep your oven hot

'Cause mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' shortnin'
Mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
If you want my love you better see that I'm well fed

Shortnin' bread
