Outside Looking In
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Oh, won't you put on the skillet, put on the lid
Mama's gonna make a little short'nin' bread
That ain't all she's gonna do
Mama's gonna make a little coffee too
Oh, Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves...
When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am filled with nought but pain
Who soothes my thumpin', bumpin' brain?
Nobody
When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's two bits, go and eat"?
Nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time
When summer comes, all cool and clear
And my friends see me drawing near
Who says, "Come in and have a beer"?
Nobody
When all day long things go amiss
And I go home to find some bliss
Who hands to me a glowin' kiss?
Nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody
No, I ain't never done nothin' for nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody
Nowhere
No how
No time
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Oh, won't you put on the skillet, put on the lid
Mama's gonna make a little short'nin' bread
That ain't all she's gonna do
Mama's gonna make a little coffee too
Oh, Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin' bread
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin'
Mama's little baby loves...
When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am filled with nought but pain
Who soothes my thumpin', bumpin' brain?
Nobody
When winter comes with snow and sleet

I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody
Nowhere
No how
No time
