Chocolate Cake by Crowded House
Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
But it went by me sickly and sentimental
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner
And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow
Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker must be losing her faith, yeah
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate
Cars shooting by with no number plates
And hear comes Mrs. Hairy Legs
I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven
And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257
The excess of fat on your American bones
Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker
Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake?
Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Kathy Straker, boy, could she lose some weight
Can I buy another slice of real estate?
Liberace must be laughing in his grave
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
WOW THEY WERE SAYIN' AMERICANS WERE FAT IN 1991... DAVID LETTERMAN SHOULD HAVE SAID 'YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET.'

I would love to see Andrew Lloyd Webber lose his pants. He deserves it. I recently was listening to an obscure album of 70’s moog music and I heard a track that sounded EXACTLY like the money kept rolling in from Evita. He totally ripped it off. Also he is a jerk. Also he just wrote a sequel to phantom of the opera. Lame. Chocolate cake is always one of those deserts that sounds better than it tastes
This is such a great album - so many great songs
I remember this was the single they released
Even though there were much better songs on the album, this one had a message they wanted to convey
I think I wasn't as fond of this song, because it kept mentioning Tammy Baker & it was mostly negative
I have no doubt AL Webber is a thief, but 'the money kept rolling in' is quite the flashback
Evita at CSU, circa 1991, I was Evita's brother, among many other roles
Good times
Chocolate cake is hit or miss, a lot of it depends on the icing
'Weather With You' is probably my favorite on the album, but 'Italian Plastic' is awesome, too
