Lyrics

Make it work;

make it eas y.

Make it clev er; craft it in to piec es.

Make it sweet; crimp the edg es.

Or make it so ur and serve with lem on wedg es.

E ven doubt can be de li cious, and it wash es off of all the dirt y dish es.

When it’s (Cb)done, I can smile; it’s on some one els e’s plate for a while.

I’ll

place it on dis play;

and then I’ll slice and

serve my (Db5)wor ries a way.

Tell them all my se crets, but dis guise them, so they dance on the tongues
