B-52's: "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.

Caaaake.



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.
