Phoebe Hunt - Sugar
You can’t bake a cake without a little sugar
there’s plenty of it hanging ‘round the lemonade stand
if he ain’t been sweet listen to my plan
and add a little sugar to your man
I went to the doctor on fifty-third in Maine
to tell him that my man had gone sour
I asked him what to do and what did he say
he said a little bit of sugar goes a long long way
You can’t bake a cake without a little sugar
there’s plenty of it hanging ‘round the lemonade stand
if he ain’t been sweet listen to my plan
and add a little sugar to your man
I put a little bit of sugar in his coffee
a little bit more in his tea
and I even put some in the mashed potatoes
but the fool wouldn’t pay attention to me
You can’t bake a cake without a little sugar
there’s plenty of it hanging ’round the lemonade stand
if he ain’t been sweet listen to my plan
and add a little sugar to your man
The sugar didn’t seem to work, none
so I tried a little honey in its place
but my man still tasted salty so
I poured the whole damn bag in his face.
You can’t bake a cake without a little sugar
there’s plenty of it hanging ‘round the lemonade stand
if he ain’t been sweet listen to my plan
add a little sugar to your man
