I don't like cake, I don't like pie
I don't like sweets and I'll tell you why
'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
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 weat, I don't like rye
I don't like white and I'll tell you why
'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
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 lovin' baby feed me shortnin' bread
