Primary

(Ain't that some shit?)

(Okay, ya ready to go?)

(Yeah)

Oh, yeah!

Yeah! She's gotta have soul

Or it won't feel right

Well, just plain, clean, and simple

Wrapped up nice n' tight

And homegrown and down-home, that makes one

Cookin' up that old time, long lost recipe for me woo!

It's gettin' hard to find

Guess it ain't hip enough now

You take an average guy, he can't identify, uh

And there's a short supply of her fine, fine stuff

Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on some o' that

Shake it up, bake it up nice, uh!

Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on all that

I so love my baby's pound cake

Homegrown and down-home, yeah that's the one

Still cookin' with that old time, long lost recipe

Lemme get on some o' that

Uh-ah uh-ho ho

Uh-ah uh-ho ho I want some o' that

Uh-ah uh-ho ho gimme some o' that

Uh-ah uh-ho ho-ow!

(Guitar solo)

Ooh, got some real fine pound pound cake ah

I've been out there

Tried a little bit of everything

But it's all sex without love

I found the real thing is pound cake

Homegrown and down-home, yeah that's the one

Still cookin' with that old time, long lost recipe, yeah woo!

She's down-home and down-home oh, that's my woman

Gimme some o' that

Uh-ah uh-ho ho

Uh-ah uh-ho ho lemme hold that

Uh-ah uh-ho ho uh!

Uh-ah uh-ho ho

Homegrown and down-home, woo! Come on babe

Gimme some o' that, gimme some o' that

Homegrown, way down-home yeah!

Uh-ah uh-ho ho, yeah, gimme some o' that woo!

C'mon baby

Homegrown, homegrown, down-home

Uh-ho ho
