G
My dear I have something to ask you 
         C
And I'll try to get it right 
       D
You've heard the Light Crust Doughboys 
    C              G
All sing of Martha White 
       G
Oh the way to someone's heart dear 
     C
That old expression's true 
      D
So as long as we're apart 
                     G
Here's my request of you: 


Don't cheat on me with cornbread, 
Don't cheat on me with beans 
And don't cheat on me with bacon
Cooked up with collard greens 
Don't cheat on me with biscuits
With jelly sweet and blue 
Keep it in that place where 
you know you will be true 


Chorus:
                G 
Keep it in your pantry
                C 
Keep it in your pantry
                D
Keep it in your pantry
                G
Keep it in your pantry
                G 
Keep it in your pantry
                C
Keep it in your pantry
                D
Keep it in your pantry
                G
Keep it in your pantry



I hate that I am leaving 
And leaving you behind 
But soon I'll be returning
With a healthy appetite 
Oh and if you are not hungry 
As you once were before 
I'll know you have betrayed me 
Behind that kitchen door 

Chorus

Acoustic guitar

Fiddle

Now I've dined the whole over
I've had the fries of France
The melons of Verona
And the sausage of Gsansk
No matter where I've been to
From Houston down to Rome
Nothin's quite as tasty
As what's cookin' right at home

Chorus
