Baking pies is something I started doing with my granddaughter when she would spend the night at Nana's house. She is now four and we've baked three pies together, but I hope there will be many more. (By the way, this is quite the feat for me, never having enjoyed cooking/baking all that much. Now in retirement, I'm getting into it......a little.) To create the right atmosphere, I always put in my Waitress DVD (just the last scene where she's singing this song to her little daughter) and we sing as we bake.
It has become a funny game to see how many different (or silly) ingredients we can substitute for the word "strawberry" in these lyrics. So far we've sung it with "chocolatey", "pumpkin-y","lemony", "gummy bear", "bubble gum", and "poop-ity" (ah, that 3 year-old bathroom humor...) Have a listen:
Baby Don't You Cry (The Pie Song)
When the world is gray and bleak
Baby don't you cry
I will give you every bit of love that is in my heart
I will bake it up… into a simple little pie
Baby don't you cry gonna make a pie
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Baby don’t be blue
Gonna make for you
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.
Baby here's the sun
Baby here's the sky
Baby I’m the light and I’m your shelter
Baby you are mine
I could freeze the time
Keep you in my kitchen with me forever
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.
Gonna bake a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with butterscotch love
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with banana cream love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart
