Biscuit Man
BISCUIT MAN
CHORUS
He’s the Biscuit Man
Rising early in the morning He’s a wealthy man
Always rolling in the dough
Giving all he can
Whistling while he’s working
He’s happy as a clam
And everyone’s a fan
Of the Biscuit Man
When he gets up he’s thinkin’ about all the others
Who’ll be getting up soon and gonna be counting on him
Mixing it up from memory, with a wink from up above
He adds his little secret, a tablespoon of love
“Why just one little tablespoon?”
That’s the question of the day
Well a little bit of love goes a long, long way
CHORUS
Get ‘em hot from the oven on a cold winter’s day
Blackberry jam, honey, or just eat ‘em plain
Startin’ the day out right, like Grandma always said
“A good meal in the morning
clears the cobwebs from your head”
You wonder why he’s always smiling
He’ll grin at you and say
“When you work from the heart
You feel blessed everyday”
CHORUS
Two cups of whole wheat flour
Four teaspoons of baking powder
One fourth little t of salt
A whole cup of buttermilk
Add a little oil, just a quarter cup
A blob of honey them stir it up
And don’t forget that tablespoon of love
Knead it on a floured board
Fourteen times no less, no more
Roll it out to a half in thick
Flour your cutter so it won’t stick
And on your pan you don’t need any grease
Just relax and let ‘em bake fourteen to seventeen minutes at three hundred fifty degrees
CHORUS
