I once tasted a cake
it was spicy delicious
the kind of cake I would make
But I make a habit
i burn down the place
it is not my affair much to care about the taste
Much beyond the moment
which I lay to waste
i'm not used to the strangeness
brought up by my haste
I think, well aren't all cakes
designed to be sweet?
Well, I fear you've ensnared me
with this zest and zing
Now I go crazy
childishly silly...
so seduce me with baking
CH
And I'm shaking
the raindrops are coming
- and my resolve will be thrown in the sea
I'm talking about adding spices
I'm adding the price in my head
...of partaking
causing myself the injury
I could blame you, I could blame me
for the sake of staying friendly
think I'll blame ginger ...cake...
- Blame it on ginger
Licking my fingers -
so sticky, so please
i'm down on my knees once again for a piece
it's like Edmund's terrible plight,
and you're like the white queen
who plies me with Turkish Delight
And the kitchen's whistling bye-bye
i'm breathless but Baker,
you're used to flying so high
CH
Feel me shake -
my heart for to break;
my heart - such an edible cupcake to make
and I'm talking about adding spices
adding the price in my head
can I be redeemed
if I blame the sweet
for the sake of staying friendly
I'll blame the easy injury
on the ginger
BR
blame it on ginger / blame it on cinnamon
blame it on chocolate / but mostly
blame it on how you look in the weather
blame it on ginger...
blame it on ginger / blame it on ginger
I'm mixed up and confused
like a bowl of devil's food
and the icings not sticking to you
CH
And I'm shaking
the raindrops are coming
- and my resolve will be thrown in the sea
I'm talking about adding spices
I'm adding the price in my head
...of partaking
I cause myself injury
I could blame you, I could blame me
but I think that I'll
blame the ginger.
