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 sour and serve with wedg es.
E ven doubt can 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 else ’s plate for a while.
I’ll
place it on dis play;
and then I’ll slice and
serve my (Db)wor ries a way.
(F)I can fix this; I
can twist it in to (D)sug ar, but ter cov ered piec es.
Nev er mind what’s un der neath it.
I
have done it be fore;
I’ll bake me a door
to
I (G)you.
Ma ma, it’s a (Bb)maz ing what bak ing can (Gb)do.
Make it (Gb)up,
and sur prise them.
Tell them all my se crets, but dis guise them, so they dance on the tongues
of the ver y peo ple that they’re se crets from.
Make it (Eb)soon;
make it bet ter.
Though, (Gb)lasts for ev er.
I’ll make it small,
so (Db)it fits
e ven this,
e ven now,
e ven as the (Gb)walls come tum bling down,
e ven as I (Gb)can’t stop re mem
ber ing how
ev ’ry door (Gb)made, we nev er (Gb)once walked out...
(Ab)Some thing I nev er got the chance to ask her a bout.
So with flour (Gb)on my hands,
I’ll show them all how
god damn (Db)hap py I am.
(D)Sug ar, but ter, flour,
(G)down!
Let’s see the next a maz ing (A)thing bak ing does now.
