Cut Yourself A Piece Of Cake Lyrics & Chords By Billy Jones & Ernest Hare

My friend Jonesie he got married just the other night
I hear he's a man who has an awful appetite
Well, his wife went to cooking school but only learned to bake
He must kick about his meals. She says, "John, for goodness' sake
Just cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home
I'm sorry that I can't cook steak, but cake is so high-tone
You'll get corns and bunions
From eating Spanish onions
So cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home."

Once a week at Jonesie's house the poker players meet
After playing cards I'll bet that they all want to eat
"One more deal and then we'll eat." they hear his wifie say
They expect a lovely spread but almost pass away
When she says, "Cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home
I'm sorry that I can't cook steak, but cake is so high-tone
Ev'ry social leader
Today is a cake-eater
So cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home

"In summer you should diet
So start in now and try it
Just cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home

Jones came home the other night and said, "I've lost my job
He said he couldn't pay the rent unless some bank he'd rob
The landlord said he'd call that night because the rent was due
Jonesie's wife said, "I'll fix him!" She knew what to do
She told him, "Cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home
I'm sorry that I can't cook steak, but cake is so high-tone
You swore by stars above, dear
That you could live on love, dear
So cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home

"From eating fried calf's liver
A man jumped in the river
So cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home
There's apple cake and orange cake
And angel cake and choc'late cake
And raisin cake and nutty cake
So cut yourself a piece of cake and make yourself at home."
