Now, cakes are fine. They rate quite high.
It’s hard to beat a homemade pie.
But the taste that thrills both pros and rookies
Is that of homemade oatmeal cookies.

There’s lots of food that makes me drool;
Turn my head; act like a fool.
But one, for sure, won’t go to waste--
That’s chewy cookies with an oatmeal taste.

One spring day when I cut school
The teacher made me quite the fool.
All she did to end my hooky
Was follow crumbs of oatmeal cookie.

It’s for sure that, up in heaven,
I won’t need an ounce of leaven,
But it’s safe to call your bookies
And place your bet on oatmeal cookies.
