about

Written to entice the irreplaceable bassist Johnny back to the Cleveland band Bird Cake, using a recipe found on Google

lyrics

Hungry for some sweetness,
But your man aint feelin right
Grandma gave me a recipe-
He'll be lovin you all night

One cup of sweet milk,
And one cup of sour
Two cups cornmeal,
And one cup of flour
A swig of molasses,
Some soda and salt
And the way he'll be acting
Wont be your grandmas fault

Keep a mans mouth full, honey
He will satisfy your appetite

When you make him Johnnycake
You wont be so hungry no more
Stir it up, put it in a greased pan,
And bake it up right

So you want some sugar
But your mans feelin old and tired
Grandma gave me a secret,
go and get your oven fired

Keep a mans mouth full honey,
He will satisfy your appetite

When you make him Johnnycake
You won't be so hungry no more
Stir it up, put it in a greased pan,
And bake it up right
Bake it up right
