Chun Won left the cake out in the rain
The birds had tender babies in your hand
Someone left the cake out in the rain
The birds like tender babies in your hand
'Cause it brought me home the bacon
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And after all the hugs of my life
And after all the loves of my life
And after all the thoughts of my life
And after all the loves of my life
Between the parted page a sandwich press
In love, shot people dine
Like a giant pair of pants
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
Between the ported pages and were pressed in wrought-sod femured iron
Between the parted pages and were pressed in love's hot fevered iron
Burnt like tender babies in your hands
...birds like tender babies in your hand
Chinese chickens by the tree
Chinese checkers by the tree
I will have the things that I desire.
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life.
After all the loves of my life.
I will sing but you.
I will have the things that I desire.
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life.
After all the loves of my life.
I'll be thinking of you.
Someone left the cake out and Lorraine
Someone left the cake out in the rain
Someone let the cake out in the rain
Someone left the cake out in the rain
Someone let the kids out, in the rain!
Somone left a cake out in the rain.
The coffee pot is melting
MacArthur's Park is melting
The old and friendly chickens by the tree
The old men playing Checkers by the trees
