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.

only you can create a great song about bread.... love it

nice little ditty here. I admire this clear, confident voice and strong message.

enjoyable folk tune. nice to hear the Vocal clearly and out front.

Another genre of music that I enjoy. I wish we heard more of this on the radio. Fortunately, local and folksy stations still indulge in this. Also great music for a church, retirement center, etc. Mainstream radio might shy from it, but that is their listeners loss....The lyrics are strong. No forced or silly rhymes. Each rhyme has a purpose and helps complete the picture being drawn by the lyrics. Whoever is singing has the right vocal tone and sound for this kind of music. There's a great message to a song like this. "Homemade" is best often best in all kinds of things. This particular song would be great for kids to hear and see performed. Nice images being drawn for someone to wants to sit-down and listen.

Simple but entertaining and quirky folk tune. Made me chuckle a little! Vocalist does a great job delivering the original sounding lyrics which come across very clearly. Nice mellow sounding guitar. Love the smooth harmonising vocal at the end of the chorus. Overall, an original and well written/performed song here.

Very Unique! Would be a great track for a kids album!
