lyrics

sift the flour, sift the flour, sift sift…
everybody's makin' a birthday cake
a birthday cake
dump the sugar…dumpity-dump
smash the butter…smash, smash!
crack the eggs…crackiity-crack
pour the milk…pour, pour
stir the batter…stir, stir
turn the temperature up to 375 degrees
and when the oven's warmed up slide your cake in with ease
set the timer for 45 minutes
and get your thumbs ready for some twidlin' it's
hard to be patient even when you're twiddling
but pretty soon you're gonna hear the buzzer go (ding!)
so put your oven mitts on, first left then right
open the door, oh! what a sight!
when a toothpick in the center comes out neat and clean
it's finally done! you know what that means
so take it on out, let it cool on down
oh it smells so yummy and it's
nice and brown
wanna swallow it down
but be careful, it's hot!
so touch it not
and before we chow
we gotta finish it now
we got work to do
because we're gonna
spread the frosting…spread, spread
shake the sprinkles…shakity-shake
everybody's baking a
chocolate vanilla rainbow swirl around
angel food devil's food fudge upside down
strawberry bubblegum ice cream layer cake
push in the candles and
light 'em on fi-ah!
everybody's makin' a birthday cake!
a birthday cake! a birthday cake!
a birthday cake!
