Here are the lyrics from John McCutcheon's Website, https://www.folkmusic.com/lyrics/im-little-cookie I'M A LITTLE COOKIE (Larry Penn) E I'm a little cookie, yes I am A And I was made by the cookie man E And on my way from the cookie pan E7 A A little piece broke off of me E A little piece broke off of me, uh-huh A A7 A little piece broke off of me, uh-huh D (Dm) A F#7 But I can taste just as good, uh-huh B7 E7 A As a regular cookie can I'm a little chocolate bar, I am And I was made by the chocolate bar man And on my way to the chocolate stand I got a little bend in me I got a little bend in me, uh-huh I got a little bend in me, uh-huh But I can taste just as good, uh-huh As a regular chocolate bar can I'm a little tootsie roll, yes I am And I was made by the tootsie roll man And on my way from the tootsie roll land I got a little twist in me I got a little twist in me, uh-huh I got a little twist in me, uh-huh But I can taste just as good, uh-huh As a regular tootsie roll can I'm a little gum drop, yes I am And I was made by the gum drop man On my way from the sugar can I got a little dent in me I got a little dent in me, uh-huh I got a little dent in me, uh-huh But I can taste just as good, uh-huh As a regular gum drop can Oh, I'm a little cookie, yes I am And I was made by the cookie man And on my way from the cookie pan A little piece broke off of me Now I ain't as round as I might be But I taste good just wait and see And I can love back twice as hard As a regular cookie can On John McCutcheon's Mail Myself to You McCutcheon recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaqf_YLd6gA This song is also mentioned in Joe Glazer's autobiography, Labor's Troubadour. |
