I know you've been counting down the days

To your special day

I know I've been thinking of the ways

To please you honey babe

I bought all the ingredients

I found my old nan's recipe

I had a surefire plan

To win your love for me

And despite my efforts to carefully make

Without too much mess and without too much mistake

A moist, warm and scrumptious tasty birthday cake

Well it's turned out half-baked again

I remembered to sprinkle flour

I remembered to butter the pan

I stocked up on cream and jam

I know you hate marzipan

But what I couldn't resist my love

Was the sight of the raising dough

I opened the oven too soon babe

The mix it did wallow

So despite my efforts to carefully make

Without too much mess and without too much mistake

A warm and scrumptious tasty birthday cake

It's turned out half-baked again
