I wanna Have some Pancakes with you Song.

Where do fireflies go during the day?

"Pancakes recipe song"

My mama wakes up,
real early in the mornin, 
Gettin ready to make, 
a treat for me.
She knows I love, 
to fill um up in my tummy, 
With her special pancakes that are just for me,

((Treat that's warm and yummy.))

I wanna eat some, pancakes with you,
oh dont'cha know it
pancakes with you, 
I wanna share some 
pancakes with you, with you, love you.  

She takes an - egg, a cup of flour and milk,
And whisks um all together smooth just like silk,
She adds a pinch of salt, some sugar too,
A little spoon of oil I don't know what its supposed to do? 
and then, she asks me

You wanna eat some, pancakes with me,
oh dont'cha know it,
pancakes with you? 
I wanna share some,
pancakes with you, with you, love you.  

Inn'a bowl mama sprinkles in the chocolate chips.
The pans gettin warm, waiting just for them
From batter to the laddle, 
to become a pancake!
I can't wait to have some

You wanna eat some, 
pancakes with me,
oh dont'cha know it
pancakes with you, 
I wanna share some,
pancakes with you, with you, love you.  

Sometimes mom adds blueberries, peaches or jam,
She likes them with bananas, I prefer some m&m's.
She pours in the mixture, counting one, two, three,
Then she sings a song she made up just for me,  

I wanna eat some, pancakes with you,
oh dont'cha know it
pancakes with you, 
I wanna share some,
pancakes with you, with you, I love you.
