shortnin' bread

three lil' children laying in bed, two were sick
and the other near dead
called for the doctor and the doctor said
feed them children on shortnin' bread

*chorus: mammy's little babies love shortnin' shortnin'
mammy's little babies love shortnin' bread (2x)

put on the skillet, put on the lid
mammy's gonna makes some shortnin' bread
that ain't all she's gonna do
mammy's gonna make some coffee too!

chorus:

one little child, layin' in bed
he hear tell of the shortnin' bread
he get up, he start to sing
he start to dance the pigeon wing

chorus:

I associate this song with two things

1) children's performer Raffi

2) Police Academy 4 : Citizens On Patrol
