Lyrics[]

Put on the skillet

Put on the lid

Grandma's gonna make a

Little shortenin' bread

That ain't all

She's gonna do

Grandma's gonna make

A little coffee, too

Mike and Mary love

Shortenin', shortenin'

Mike and Mary love

Shortenin' bread

Mike and Mary love

Shortenin', shortenin'

Mike and Mary love

Shortenin' bread

Get out the butter

Get out the whisk

Grandma's gonna scramble

Eggs so quick

That ain't all

She's gonna do

Grandma's gonna fry

Some bacon, too

Mike and Mary like

Their eggs scrambled

Mike and Mary like

Bacon, too

Mike and Mary love

Their eggs scrambled

Mike and Mary like

Bacon, too

Our friend Sean loves

Hot cakes, hot cakes

Our friend Sean loves

Syrup, too

Our friend Sean loves

Hot cakes, hot cakes

Our friend Sean loves

Syrup, too

Get out the syrup

Get out the plates

Grandma's gonna make about

A hundred cakes

That ain't all

She's gonna do

Grandma's gonna grill

A little sausage, too

Everyone loves fixin' breakfast

Everyone loves eatin' it too

Everyone loves fixin' breakfast

Everyone loves eatin' it too

Everyone loves fixin' breakfast

Everyone loves eatin' it too

Everyone loves fixin' breakfast

Everyone loves eatin' it too

Everyone loves fixin' breakfast

Everyone loves eatin' it too
