There's a little piece of cornbread sitting on the shelf
Up in the cupboard all by itself
Lord Lord Lordy what'll I do?
Woke up this morning, half past six
Look in the mirror all bones and sticks
Lord Lord Lordy what'll I do?
Go down to the corner store
Won't give me credit anymore
Lord Lord Lordy what'll I do?
There's a little piece of cornbread sitting on the shelf
Up in the cupboard all by itself
Lord Lord Lordy what'll I do?
Go into town for to find a man
To bring home the bacon and a frying pan
Lord Lord Lordy that's what I'll do!
Found me a man, handsome and tall
We got love but not food at all
Lord Lord Lordy what'll we do?
There's a little piece of cornbread sitting on the shelf
Up in the cupboard all by itself
Lord Lord Lordy what'll we do?
Go next door when the sun goes down
Farmer's in the field and he's not around
Lord Lord Lordy that's what we'll do!
Barnyard's full of hens and hogs
But we weren't counting on the farmer's dogs!
Lord Lord Lordy thats what we'll do?
There's a little piece of cornbread sitting on the shelf
Up in the cupboard all by itself
Lord Lord Lordy what'll we do?
Well, we'll get hungry another night
But we got each other, we'll be alright
Lord Lord Lordy that's what we'll do!
Hugging and kissing, all night long
Wake up in the morning, singing this song
Lord Lord Lordy what'll we do?
There's a little piece of cornbread sitting on the shelf
Up in the cupboard all by itself
Lord Lord Lordy what'll we do?
There's a little piece of cornbread sitting on the shelf
Up in the cupboard all by itself
Lord Lord Lordy what'll we do?
