Custard Pie Lyrics
Led Zeppelin
Lyrics
Drop down, baby, let your daddy see
Drop down, mama, just dream of me
Well, my mama allow me to fool around all night long
Well, I may look like I'm crazy, I should know right from wrong
See me comin', throw your man out the door
Ain't no stranger, been this way before
See me comin', mama, throw your man out the door
I ain't no stranger, I been this way before
Put on your night shirt and your morning gown
You know by night I'm gonna shake 'em all down
Put on your night shirt Mama, and your morning gown
Well, you know by night, sure I'm gonna shake 'em all down
Shake, shake 'em
Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice
When you cut it, mama, save me a slice
Your custard pie, I declare, it's sweet and nice
I Like your custard pie
When you cut it, mama mama, please save me a slice
Chew on a piece of your custard pie
Chew on a piece of your custard pie
Chew on a piece of your custard pie
Chew on a piece of your custard pie
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Drop down
Chew on a piece of your custard pie
Song & Lyrics Facts
"Custard Pie" is a song by British rock band Led Zeppelin, released on their 1975 album Physical Graffiti. It was written by lead vocalist Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page.
The track features John Bonham on drums, John Paul Jones on bass guitar, and Page playing both acoustic and electric guitars. This hard-rocking blues number has been described as "a heavy boogie with some great slide work". The lyrics of "Custard Pie" are based on an old African American folk tale about a man who eats custard pie but can't pay for it, so he must run away to avoid being caught. Musically, the song is driven by Bonham's powerful drumming and Page's energetic riffs. Its driving beat and catchy chorus make it one of Led Zeppelin's most popular songs.
