Cake lyrics

Take a little, take a little nip

Take a little sip, take a little more

Spread icing nice and thick between the layers

Ooh, let it drip down the sides, who cares

Done with the batter

I am watching it drip down the sides

(If you want a better batter better beat it harder)

I am watching it drip down the sides

I said according to my recipe, you put it on a slow bake

According to my recipe, you put it on a slow bake

I am watching it drip down the sides

(If you want a better batter better beat it harder)

I am watching it drip down the sides

I said according to my recipe, you put it on a slow bake

(Takes a long time for it to rise)

According to my recipe, you put it on a slow bake

(Let it drip right down the sides)

According to my recipe

(Who cares)

I can't wait to put the icing on the cake

I, I can't wait to put the icing on the cake, cake

Hey, you know what I'd really like to do?

Say wha'?

I feel like makin' a cake

Ooh wah, what kind of cake do you want?

Umm, how about, pineapple upside-down cake?

Maybe a chocolate devil's food cake

Wah, nothin' like a chocolate devil's food cake

Ooh, how about an angel cake?

Umm, some cinnamon?

Yea, sure

Sugar?

Yea, uh huh, I swear

You got a pan the right size?

A pan?

It says in this cookbook it takes a long time to rise

I read that now, beware

Let's get this thing in the oven

Take a little, take a little nip

Take a little sip, take a little more

Spread icing nice and thick between the layers

Ooh let it drip down the sides, who cares

Done with the batter

I am watching it drip down the sides

(If you want a better batter better beat it harder)

I am watching it drip down the sides

I said according to my recipe, you put it on a slow bake

According to my recipe, you put it on a slow bake

Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah

I can't wait to put the icing on the cake

Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah

250 strokes to beat it, I just can't wait to eat it
