lyrics

Chocolate Cake

When the monkey sneeze
He cut the poodle's hair
And now the piper's son
Somersault in the air

Just a crutch and a pole
In the hollow house
And a bag of geese
Yellow cheese and a mouse

We're having chocolate cake
Sitting with Nurse Jane
She's pouring cabbage sauce
And it falls like rain

Bits of rags and paper
A wooden balcony
Somebody's living there
Having toast and tea

We're having chocolate cake
Sitting with Nurse Jane,

...Nurse Jane

Dancing and whirling,
Waltzing ‘round the room
Tell me now there's blue sky
When I dance with you

Faster and louder
Light upon the breeze
Shortcake and snowflakes
There's music in the trees
