Fruit Cake Regift

Prelude

mmmm

oh yeah

Verse 1

They call it cake, but something ain't right,

It's packed with fruit, all heavy and tight.

No fluffy layers, no frosting delight,

It's more like a brick than a birthday sight.

Pre-Chorus

Don't let the name fool your eyes,

A fruit cake wears a sweet disguise.

Chorus

Where's the soft crumb everybody knows?

Where's the frosting piled in pretty rows?

It's got more raisins than a whole grape vine,

A fruit cake crossed the old cake line.

That's why it ain't a real cake to me.

Post-Chorus

Slice it thin, it's still too dense,

Calling it cake makes little sense.

Verse 2

Candied cherries and sticky peel,

Built like a wheel that could stop a steel.

You need a saw instead of a knife,

That fruit cake could survive for life.

Pre-Chorus

It lasts for years upon the shelf,

Almost preserving itself.

Chorus

Where's the soft crumb everybody knows?

Where's the frosting piled in pretty rows?

It's got more raisins than a whole grape vine,

A fruit cake crossed the old cake line.

That's why it ain't a real cake to me.

Post-Chorus

One little bite is all I take,

Then I start craving real cake.

Bridge

Give me chocolate, give me cream,

Vanilla layers like a dream.

Fruit belongs inside a pie,

Not in a cake that's hard and dry.

Verse 3

Every holiday it comes around,

Passed from house to house and town to town.

Nobody eats it, they just smile and fake,

Still wondering why they call it cake.

Outro

Mmmm

Wrap it up and pass it away,

I'll take real cake any day.

Oh yeah......
