Story Behind The Song

Wrote this one in the kitchen. I'm a bigtime bread baker...even grind my own wheat!

Song Description

Explores the yummy aroma and healthy delights of making and eating homemade bread.

Lyrics

When I was a newlywed back in days of yore
Day-old bread on special, a dollar could buy four
Creamy white, soft and squishy, rolled into a ball
It really made great fish bait but my tummy was appalled.
So...I bought some whole wheat flour and a little pack of yeast
And when I started kneading something in me was released and I sang:

Homemade bread! I'm watching my dough rise
Homemade bread! Aroma satisfies
Cut me a slice and spread with butter
For my snack I'll take no other than homemade bread.

I got into the habit, when the last slice of bread was gone
I'd get a new batch started and the cycle would go on
Now we eat it every day! We?re healthy as can be
We're hooked on homemade bread and the whole family agrees (that we like)

Homemade bread! Hearty whole-wheat kind
Homemade bread! In stores you will not find
Cut me a slice and spread with butter
For my snack I'll take no other than homemade bread.

Some think that if they eat it (OH!) They surely will get fat
I've found that chocolate cake does a much better job of that.
Oh, give me no preservatives. I'll go natural instead
I want the kind that mommy makes, that hearty homemade bread. (Oh I like)

Homemade bread! Smells so heavenly
Homemade bread! Don't count the calories
Cut me a slice and spread with butter
For my snack I'll take no other than homemade bread.

Today has been so busy, and tomorrow's busier still
But why not save a Saturday for some old-fashioned thrill
Make it a priority! Get up out of bed!
Ask the Lord to help you bake a loaf of homemade bread (Then you'll sing)

Homemade bread! I'm watching my dough rise
Homemade bread! Aroma satisfies
Cut me a slice and spread with butter
For my snack I'll take no other than Homemade
I like homemade
Give me some Homemade bread.
