Cupcake, When You Have a Chancei was standing on a dead end street
i had just arrived from the coast when along came the man who invented the paper clip he was eating, eating some melba toast he asked me if I was from Abilene i said no, no, i'm from Kankakee then he said he once knew a body builder looked a helluva lot like me helluva lot like me i said, friend, i never built, i never built no bodies but i once knew a little girl from Peru her daddy was the hangman for the Shah of Iran now living in Kathmandu he said well, well, now, ain't it a small world y'see i once knew a little girl from Bombay she danced for the mayor of Pittsburgh on Tanzanian independence day Tanzanian independence day then we realized we had a mutual friend ah, but wasn't it a crying shame couldn't neither one of us remember his face plus we couldn't remember his name so he says hey hey brother, let's go get a drink i said how's about, how's about three or four he said tell you what, let's order up a coupla hundred then we'll order up a couple more order up a couple more so the two of us, we saddled up to the bar i said hey bartender two beers he said hey bartender, I'll have two beers too and some earplugs for my ears so the barkeep says hey why the long face and by the way, what would you need with those plugs? but my friend just pulled out an egg and a frying pan and said this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs this is your brain on drugs well it must've been four o'clock in the morning when we stumbled and glided out of the place we agreed there'd never been, there'd never been a better time to be a member of the human race then he gave me a big ol' box of 8-track tapes i gave him a ticket to France he said please come see me in gay Paree and bring a cupcake, when you have a chance when you have a chance a cupcake, if you have a chance a cupcake, if you have a chance Copyright P & C Samm Bennett - all rights reserved back to Lyrics Table of Contents
