Mama's Cookin'

Mama's in the kitchen, baking her bread
Everybody gonna get fed
She's on a mission, checkin' the beans
Cookin' on top of the stove
Mama's in the kitchen, get out of the way
It ain't no place to play
We all gonna have some o' Mama's cookin' today

Mama's in the kitchen, choppin it up
Just need one more cup
She's on a mission, look at her go
Runnin to and fro
Mama's in the kitchen, stuffing the bird
I'll be back for thirds
Aint nobody can beat my Mama's cookin'

Squash casserole and pole beans
Angel biscuits
Fried chicken and collard greens
Blackberry surprise
Turkey gravy and giblets
Salmon haystacks
Buttermilk potato doughnuts first thing in the morning
Lemon icebox pie

Mama's in the kitchen, stirrin' the pot
See what the pantry got
She's on a mission, takin her time
At 300 degrees
Mama's in the kitchen, is it ready?
Will be by and by
I can't wait for Mama's rhubarb pie
