I slipped in the kitchen, I raised up the lid
I stole me a mess of that shortenin' bread
I walked up to a pretty girl and I said

They caught me with the skillet, they caught me with the lid
They caught me with the girl eatin' shortenin' bread
Six months for the skillet, six months for the lid
Now I'm doin' time for eatin' shortenin' bread
