Cold baloney and I'm home by myself
Well I'm five years old and it sure is cold
Mama's out cookin' steak for someone else
Sure am sleepy but I'm gonna wait till my mama comes
Well if the rich folks don't eat up all that good meat 
Mama's gonna brings me some

Talking about that cold baloney mayonaise and bread
Well if it wasn't for cold baloney you know I would have been dead
Poor mama she sure looks tired
She said "what you eatin' son?"
"I believe that cold baloney sandwich looks good
Would you please fix you mama one?"

Talking about cold baloney mayonaise and bread
Well if it wasn't for cold baloney you know I would have been dead
Baloney was good enough for my father good enough for my mother 
That baloney saved me and my brother
Cold baloney mayonaise and bread
