This is a silly little track I wrote so I could remember the ingredients to make cornbread. Turns out that it's sung from the perspective of a hermit living out in the woods. Yep.
lyrics
Heat up the cast iron skillet
Time to make us some cornbread sons and daughters
Heat up the cast iron skillet
Time to make us some cornbread sons and daughters
Heat up the cast iron skillet
Time to make us some cornbread...
Cornmeal, baking powder, salt, eggs, honey, milk and butter
Mix it all up and toss it into the skillet
Oven 450 for 25 minutes
Cool it sucka, then serve it to the children
Cool it sucka, then serve it to the children of the world
Heat up that cast iron skillet
Gonna make this batch of cornbread
Heat up that cast iron skillet
Gotta combine these ingredients
Cornmeal, baking powder, salt-eggs, honey, milk and butter
You know what I'm sayin?
Cornmeal, baking powder, salt-eggs, honey, milk and butter
Mix the wet stuff, dry stuff separately
Combine em in a big bowl, toss em in the skillet
Oven 450 for 25 minutes
Cool it for a little bit, toss em in a basket
Make sure to keep some warmth in so use a couple blankets...
Gotta make my way to that village
Even under these treacherous conditions,
Gotta feed all of them children
Little Jerry, Little Maude, Little Gary, Little Claude- can't forget little Claude
Under my watch these little ones ain't gonna starve...
It's nice to see those smiling faces
All the loved ones sweet embraces
It's time to retreat back to my cabin
Cause I can't stand... Civilization.
