happiness in bakeries

PASTRIES!
i think i know what i want
PASTRIES!
i think sno-balls are on sale
PASTRIES!
the twinkies first caused my submission
PASTRIES!
and now i'm filling up my kitchen

just look at those pies
of apple and blueberry
the devil's food cakes
a dollar for three
just look at those pies
buy them from me
I have found
you can find
happiness in bakeries

PASTRIES!
i spend my life eating cookies
PASTRIES!
i claim i have my own recipe
PASTRIES!
i'm gonna cause the bread to fall
PASTRIES!
but i'm glad to be eating it all

just look at those pies
of apple and blueberry
the hungry have been blessed
with strawberries
just look at those pies
buy them from me
i have found
you can find
happiness in bakeries

i don't know what i ate
i don't know where i ate it
scraps, junk, just dough and so much yeast
stick my hands in the oven of this endless cooking
just some food caught in this big smoking machine
