VERSE



The spirit's always willing when it's fed;

When it's not fed the spirit's dead.

And if the spirit really wants to dance

It needs a little more than bread

To cure the spirit's ache

Give it a little cake!



REFRAIN



Come, you all kick up the cakewalk,

'Cause we got cake.

Lady Luck finally learn to bake.

Who said bread? Kick up the cakewalk

'Cause we got pie.

Here and now, not in the by and by.

Say good bye to trouble and famine

It's time to laugh

Laugh, boy, you can examine

The fatted calf.

Come, you all kick up the cakewalk,

'Cause we got cake.

Ev'ryone who is awake, walk

To cakewalk

'Cause we all got cake.
