       E
She's gotta have soul
Or it won't feel right
Well, just plain, clean and simple
                          B
Wrapped up, nice and tight

Chorus:
 E
Home grown, and down home
                 A
Yeah, that makes one
 E
Cookin' up an old time, long lost recipe
     A
For me

              E
It's gettin' hard to find
Guess it ain't hip enough now
            A
You take an average guy,
he can't identify, uh
                E
And there's a short supply of her fine,
fine stuff

               B
Lemme get on, lemme get on,

lemme get on some of that
              B               C
Shake it up, bake it up nice, uh
               B
Lemme get on, lemme get on,
                   C
lemme get on all that
        B                     C

E                                        A
Homegrown and down-home, yeah that's the one
       E
Still cookin' with that old time,
             A
long lost recipe
Lemme get on some o' that

A              B
Uh-ah uh-ho ho-ow!

Ooh, got some real fine pound
Poundcake. Ahh.

I've been out there
Tried a little bit of everything
It's all sex without love
I found the real thing is poundcake

Home grown, and down home
Yeah, that's the one
Still cookin' with that old time,
long lost recipe, yeah, whew!
She's down home and down home
Oh, that's my woman

Gimme some o' that
Uh-ah uh-ho ho
Uh-ah uh-ho ho. Lemme hold that
Uh-ah uh-ho ho. Uh!
Uh-ah uh-ho ho
Home grown, and down home, whew!

Gimme some of that
Gimme some of that

Home grown, way down home, yeah!
Uh ha, uh ha, ho, yeah
Gimme some of that, whew!

Homegrown, homegrown, down-home
Uh-ho ho
