The Lyrics

Part of my "Blame It on the Whiskey" self-challenge. Recipe conversion is a thing that I've never had to do personally, but if I ever had to, I can imagine it'd be something like this...
Wanna make a cake
Simple thing to bake, hah
Zero decorations, I'm lazy
Looks not what I'm after, just tasty
But I think I might be screwed, uh
'Cause I don't have a clue, not bright
I'm only servin' two, just me and me
But this one is huge, I'm not that hungry

Third of a measure, is a quarter better? Don't know
I'm not that clever but I don't want errors, that blows
Not gonna ever quit, you hear me? Never will quit
I'll just enter numbers forever
Work with all these papers on the floor
'Til I'm one hundred percent sure
I've got the maths sorted out, 'cause I
I want a cake of a smaller size
Make it a smaller size
And still have it taste right
Want it smaller in size

You can call me cheap, hmm
I won't make a peep, hmm
Hate to waste ingredients, honest
If the end result's not what I wanted
There's other parts to it, hu-uh-uh
I'm not freezin' shit, oh-ooh-oh-oh
Proper texture's missed, no longer goopin'
That's why I want this, hence my fumin'
At this calculator on the floor
Not doin' what I bought it for
It's sep'rate from my phone 'cause I
Hope answers are online

Third of a measure or is a fifth better? Don't know (what's the way to divide?)
Hoped folks more clever who've done this forever would post (want it easy to find)
Answers sans errors and end my endeavour, no hits (not a single damn bite)
But I'll never quit, that feels lesser
Hope in the future, I'll be fine (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Be able to convert in time (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Before (hoo-ooh) the "best before" goes by (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Of course, it's only after I've written the whole thing and am about to submit it do I notice that "third of a measure" sounds more like an instruction from an orchestra conductor than a recipe thing. Maybe another time...
