[Verse 1]
Cold bologna, and I'm home by myself
Well, I'm 5 years old, and it sho' is cold
Mama's out cookin' steak for someone else

Sure am sleepy, but I'm gonna wait 'til my mama comes
Well, if the rich folks don't eat up
All that good meat, y'all, mama's gonna bring me some

[Chorus]
Talkin' bout that
Cold bolonga and mayonnaise and bread
If it wasn't for cold bologna by now (Cold bologna)
Y'all know I would've been dead

[Verse 2]
Mama sure looks tired
She said, "what's that you eatin', son?"
"That bologna sandwich sure looks good --
Won't you Ahh, Owww, fix your mama one?"

[Chorus]
Talkin' bout that
Cold bolonga and mayonnaise and bread (Cold bologna)
If it wasn't for cold bologna by now (Cold bologna)
Y'all know I would've been dead
[Bridge]
Bologna was good enough (Good enough) for my father
Good enough (Good enough) for my mother
That bologna saved me (Saved me) and my brother
Oh yes, it did

[Outro]
(Cold bologna) Cold bologna (Cold bologna)
Mayonnaisse and bread (Cold bologna)
Cold bologna (Cold bologna)
You know I would've been dead (Cold bologna)
Cold bologna (Cold bologna)
Cold bologna ah, yeah now (Cold bologna)
Cold bologna (Cold bologna)
Mayonnaisse and bread (Cold bologna)
If it wasn't for (Cold bologna) cold bologna
I would've been dead (Cold bologna)
Cold bologna
