Cake Shop Lyrics

Swell Maps Cake Shop

Cake shop girls grow fingernails 
dead long and rather sharp.
They paint them glace cherry red 
and yellow marzipan.
Scoring lines upon the backs Of tender chocolate mice 
I would like to buy a wedding cake for you and me!

You've always been a cake shop girl as far as I recall 
ballroom dancer minatures alongside cherokees.
Cake shop girl, oh cake shop girl I'd fall on bended knees 
I should like to buy a wedding cake for you and me.

Confectioners don't eat a thing 
that's made inside their shops.
Bottles of crushed beetle 
can be bought to turn things red.
Window front displays are made 
for only perfect things,
I should like to substitute a cake for you and me
