Lyrics
Chorus
“Cut yourself a piece of cake
And make yourself at home
I’m sorry that I can’t cook steak
But cake is so “high-toned”
You’ll get corns and bunions
From eating Spanish onions
So cut yourself a piece of cake
And make yourself at home”
Chorus
“Cut yourself a piece of cake
And make yourself at home
I’m sorry that we haven’t steak
But cake is so “high-toned”
Ev’ry social leader
Today is a “cake eater”
So cut yourself a piece of cake
And make yourself at home”
Chorus
“Cut yourself a piece of cake
And make yourself at home
I tried to make some doughnuts
But they all turned out like stone
You know you should diet
Start in right now and try it
So cut yourself a piece of cake
And make yourself at home”
Chorus
“Cut yourself a piece of cake
And make yourself at home
My hubby’s at the lodge tonight
Just had me on the phone
Tell me how’s your mother?
Your sister and your brother?
Won’t you cut yourself a piece of cake
And make yourself at home”
