My dear I have something to ask you
|
And I'll try to get it right
|
You've heard the Light Crust Doughboys
|
All sing of Martha White
|
Oh the way to someone's heart dear
|
That old expression's true
|
So as long as we're apart
|
Here's my request of you:
|
|
Don't cheat on me with cornbread,
|
Don't cheat on me with beans
|
And don't cheat on me with bacon, cooked up with collard greens
|
Don't cheat on me with biscuits with jelly sweet and blue
|
Keep it in that place where
|
You know you will be true
|
|
Keep it in your pantry [8x]
|
|
I hate that I am leaving
|
And leaving you behind
|
But soon I'll be returning
|
With a healthy appetite
|
Oh and if you are not hungry
|
As you once were before
|
I'll know you have betrayed me
|
Behind that kitchen door
|
|
Keep it in your pantry [8x]
|
|
I've dined the whole world over
|
I've had the fries of France
|
The melons of Verona
|
The sausage of Gdansk
|
|
No matter where I've been to,
|
From [?] to Rome
|
Nothin's quite as tasty as what's cookin' right at home
|
|
Keep it in your pantry [8x]
|
