Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Put on the skillet, put on the lid

Mama's gonna bake a little shortening bread

And that ain't all she's gonna do

Mama's gonna make a hot chocolate too

Oh, Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

One little child was sick in bed (Aww)

When he heard tell of the shortening bread

He popped up well and he danced and he sang (Woo)

He cut up a rug and he danced on a wing

Oh, Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

I slipped to the kitchen, slipped up the lid

Filled my pocket full of shortening bread

They caught me in the kitchen, they caught me with the lid

They caught me with my pocket full of shortening bread

Oh, Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Yeah, Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread

Mama's little baby loves shortening, shortening

Mama's little baby loves shortening bread
