It Must Be Gelatine
Have you met Mrs. Maybelle Greene?
She makes all kinds of gelatine.
Of course, she sells it very high:
To get any better you need not try.
I've known her for a great long time;
All kinds of jelly is in her line.
If it looks like jelly, if it shakes like jelly,
Then it must be gelatine.
If you chance to pass her way,
You'll end up singin' most every day (what?):
If it looks like jelly, if it shakes like jelly,
Then it must be gelatine.
If you once try it, then you gonna buy it,
That's just what I mean.
Maybelle's cooking, it is a treat;
Her jellyroll cannot be beat.
And she always keeps them fresh and clean,
Clean her jelly down in-between.
If it looks like jelly, if it shakes like jelly,
Then it must be gelatine.
Can't get away; that ain't no bluff.
She sure knows how to strut her stuff.
Try it once and you will see
Why she's better company.
If it looks like jelly, if it shakes like jelly,
Then it must be gelatine.
