Cause We Got Cake 1939 - 'Too Many Girls'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 05 Oct 2004

The spirit's always willing when it's fed,
when it's not fed the spirit's dead.
And if the spirit really wants to dance,
It needs a little more than bread.
To cure the spirit's ache,
Give it a little cake!

Come you all,
kick up the cake walk,
'cause we got cake,
Lady Luck finally learned to bake.
Who said bread?
Kick up the cake walk,
'cause we got pie,
here and now,
not in the by and by.
Say goodbye to trouble and famine,
it's time to laugh.
Laugh boys, you can examine
the fatted calf.
Come you all,
kick up the cake walk,
we got a break.
Everyone who is awake walk,
The cake walk,
'cause we all got cake.

Come you all,
kick up the cake walk,
'cause we got cake,
Lady Luck finally learned to bake.
Who said bread?
Kick up the cake walk,
'cause we got pie,
here and now,
not in the by and by.
Say goodbye to trouble and famine,
it's time to laugh.
Laugh boys, you can examine
the fatted calf.
Come you all,
kick up the cake walk,
we got a break.
Everyone who is awake walk,
The cake walk,
'cause we all got cake.
