Lyrics - Cake by B-52s

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 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?-
Yeah, sure-
Sugar?-
Yeah, 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 niptake 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
