[Instrumental]

Who said mama's baby likes shortnin' bread
Who said mama's baby likes shortnin' bread
That's some lie, some white man often said
Mama's little baby don't like no shortnin' bread
Mama's little baby likes truffles
Mama's little baby likes caviar
Mama's little baby likes all the fine things of life
All the things that a real good person should have

Mama's little baby like African goldmines
African goldmines
African Diamond mines
Diamonds in their nose
Diamonds in their toes
Diamonds all over mama's little babies
Mama's little baby likes [?]
[?] Uncle Ben [?]
[?] Freedom, freedom
