Not everyone in new york would pay to see andrew lloyd webber
May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
I dont know what tune the orchestra played
But it went by me sickly sentimental
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Tammy bakers got a lot on her plate
Can I buy another cheap picasso fake
Andy warhol must be laughing in his grave
The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner
And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
And the sugar that dripped from the violins bow made the children go crazy
Put a hole in the tooth of a hag
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Tammy baker must be losing her faith, yeah
Can I buy another cheap picasso fake
Andy warhol must be laughing in his grave
And dogs are on the road, were all tempting fate
Cars are shooting by with no number plates
And here comes missis hairy legs
I saw elvis presley walk out of a seven eleven
And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257
Now the excess of fat on your american bones
Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Tammy baker, tammy baker
Can I buy another cheap picasso fake
Cheap picasso, cheap picasso fake
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake
Kathy straker boy could she lose some weight
Can I buy another slice of real estate
Liberace must be laughing in his grave
Yes, oh yes, have been waiting to see this video in the States since, oh, FOREVER!! Thanks Neil!!!! Saw you guys on your Woodface tour in Seattle, Wa around 1991 approx. I had an awesome time...was quite the scorcher that day.. I was so appreciative when you sprayed us all down with a very large container of water!!! A Great show to remember!!!! Great song, some Americans just sometimes don't have a sense of humor in regards to this song...Hey, it's true, funny as hell & I finally get to see it!!!!!
This is just too much fun! I love that the Crowdies released this as the first single off Woodface. Had everybody scratching their heads. It felt like they knew they were beginning to be a big deal in America so they released this as a kind of funny prank. This song I think shows how much fun these 4 lads did actually have, before it began to get cramped and Tim left the group.
Brillant song...Terrible title...great video...it was good to see paul Hester in happier times...great drummer and well liked character in crowded house...greatly missed
