Papa Wants A Cookie - Leroy Carr

Mama’s baking cookies: out in the kitchen

Papa smells the cookies: and his nose starts to itching

Papa tried to steal one: like he did before

But mama’s got the lock: on the kitchen door

Papa says to mama: come a little closer

Mama looks at papa: says oh oh no sir

Papa turns around: starts to go away

Comes right back: when she hear him say

Papa says to mama: you a real nice‑looker

You turn on the heat: like a fireless cooker

Come a little closer: in your papa’s arms

Another little kiss: wouldn’t do us any harm

Papa comes home: when his work is over

Mama says to papa: you sure ain’t clover

Guess what I cooked: for you today

Mama just smiles: when she hear papa say
