Dodo for Mama til Daddy comes
Lullaby
Dodo* for Mama til Daddy comes
When daddy comes
He'll bring suga'** cake
And give Mathias some.
Notes
*"Dodo" means "sleep" in French
**Suga' is short for sugar.
Comments
Sugar Cake is similar to cookies. It's made with shredded coconut, sugar and a flavoring (like almond extract). Usually food coloring is added to give it color. It's especially popular in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana.
