Put on the skillet and slip on the lid

And that ain't all our mammy's gonna do
She's gonna cook us some coffee, too

I slipped in the kitchen, I raised up the lid
I stole me a mess of that shortenin' bread
I walked up to a pretty girl and I said
Baby, how'd you like some shortenin' bread?
Mama's little baby loves shortenin', shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin', shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
They caught me with the skillet, they caught me with the lid
They caught me with the girl eatin' shortenin' bread
Six months for the skillet, six months for the lid
Now I'm doin' time for eatin' shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin', shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin', shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin', shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin', shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
