Daddy likes his corn bread, mama she likes rye
I just love my sweet bread, and I’m gonna tell you why
Eat it in the morning with my coffee on the side
Any time of day you know, it’s always sweet bread time
Oh, sweet bread, sweet bread, hmmmmm

When she’s got it in the oven, it’ll smell up my whole place
You know her bread is getting hot from the look upon her face
Just a little bite now is all I really need
It ain’t the way she rolls her dough, it’s the sugar in between
Oh, sweet bread, sweet bread, hmmmmm

Some like the taste of dark bread, some like the look of white
Me I chose my sweet bread by the taste not just the sight
Our recipe’s a secret, we ain’t never gonna share
The men folk see my sweet bread, they just gotta stop and stare
At my sweet bread, sweet bread, hmmmmm

Daddy likes his corn bread, mama she likes rye
I just love my sweet bread, and I’m gonna tell you why
Eat it in the morning with my coffee on the side
Any time of day you know, it’s always sweet bread time
Oh, sweet bread, sweet bread, hmmmmm
