Cookie Jar Confessional

[Intro]
Who took the cookie
From the cookie jar? (hey!)
Crumbs on the counter
Got a story to start
[Verse 1]
I see chocolate on your fingers
Sugar on your sleeve
You say you just walked by it
But you’re the first to leave
Chair by the cupboard
Scooted just a bit
Something in this kitchen
Really doesn’t fit
[Chorus]
Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?
Everybody pointing, taking it too far
“I didn’t do it!” “Couldn’t be me!”
But somebody’s feeling crumb-y
Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?
We all got a sweet tooth, hearts ajar
Maybe we share it, maybe we split
Caught in the kitchen, all of us guilty a bit (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Dog’s got crumbs on his whiskers
Dad’s got crumbs on his tie
Grandma’s laughing in the corner
Can’t look me in the eye
You say, “Ask your brother”
He says, “Ask your sis”
By the time they’re done with blaming
Half the batch is missed
[Chorus]
Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?
Everybody pointing, taking it too far
“I didn’t do it!” “Couldn’t be me!”
But somebody’s feeling crumb-y
Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?
We all got a sweet tooth, hearts ajar
Maybe we share it, maybe we split
Caught in the kitchen, all of us guilty a bit
[Bridge]
Maybe I reached in
Maybe you did too
Maybe one turned into a few (just a few)
If we’re all in trouble
Then it’s not so bad
Pass around the last one
Give the first one back to Dad
[Chorus]
Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?
Everybody laughing, doesn’t matter who we are
“I kinda did it, you kinda did too”
Whole house sticky with the truth
Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?
Guess it was all of us, there you are
If we’re gonna sneak it, let’s at least admit
Family of crumb thieves, every hand in it

Playful kids-chant flip with bouncy acoustic guitar, light hand percussion, and stacked gang vocals on the hook; verses feel like a quick back-and-forth call-and-response, chorus explodes with claps and group shouts, tiny bass groove and toy piano hits sneak in for extra bounce
