[Verse 1]
Four cups of cherries or more
Maybe five just to be sure
One cup of sugar or more if the berries are sour
Let your belly say when
When you put in
A good pinch cinnamon

[Verse 2]
Groovin', twistin' your leg
When you add the yolk of an egg
Crumble some butter with four small cups of flour
And in the wink of an hour
If you're lucky, you'll try
My great-granny's cherry pie

[Verse 3]
Well, listen, once back in 1865
My great-granny served her very first cherry pie
And it's been doing wonders
Ever since she spread her lovin' crumbles
She mended broken hearts
And won every prize in the local country market
She was the sweetest thing
Invited everybody in to share
Tender love and care
And some pie here and there
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Well, listen, once back in 1869
My great-grandad walked in and caught her eye
And he's been doing tumblers
Ever since he tasted her lovin' crumbles
She once said to me
One day, you're gonna thank me for this recipe
You've got to follow it to the tee
It takes more than just a twinkle in your eye
So when you find your guy
Invite him in for some pie

[Chorus]
