Two little chillun lyin in bed,
One of 'em sick and de odder mos' dead,
Call for de docter and de doctor said
"Feed dem chillun on shortnin' bread".
Chorus
Mammy's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin',
Mammy's little baby loves shortnin',bread,
Mammy's little baby loves shortnin', shortnin',
Mammy's little baby loves shortnin' bread.
Goin to da kitchen and put on da led,
Put on da skillet for shortnin bread,
Shortnin bread and it baked thin,
Always makes dem chillun grin.
Chorus
Messin' round the kitchen lak a busy bee,
Da busiest mammy you ever did see,
Gotta hurry up wit da shortnin bread,
Gotta get dem chillun right outta bed.
Chorus
"How about dat shortnin bread?",
"When i gonna git that shortnin bread?",
Cried a little baby a-lyin in bed,
his eyes was shut like ben dead.
Chorus
De odder little fella sick in de bed,
When he hear tell of shortnin bread,
He popped up well, He dance and sing,
He almost cut da pigeon wing.
Chorus
