Intro
G
Couplet
GIn New York city just Dwalking the street
Ran out of money had noGthing to eat
I stopped at the Plaza that fanCcy hotel
Where Dyou can check in if you're well to do well...
Couplet
The Gfirst of July and a Dhundred and four
I stopped at the Plaza's front reGvolving door
I stepped in the door and went aCround for a ride
DTreatin' myself to the cool air inside
Couplet
Then I Gfound myself in a chandeDliered room
Where people were dining and I Ghid in the gloom
My hunger pains hurt 'til I Cthought I would break
When a waiDter brought out a big strawberry Gcake
Refrain
GOh that Dstrawberry Gcake
COh that strawberry Gcake
Out Cin California them berGries were grown
And inCto this city them Gberries were flown
For maDking that strawberry Gcake
Couplet
GThen I thought of Oxnard just Dnorth of LA
Where I picked strawberries for maGny a day
Hard work with no future for the Charvest was done
And I Dheaded eastward a-travelin' by thumb
Couplet
And noGbody wanted me Dhere in this town
I felt like a stray dog they Gall kick around
Them berries reminded me Cof my bad breaks
I'm Dhungry and I want that strawberry Gcake
Refrain
I Gdeserve that Dstrawberry Gcake
DeCserve that strawberry Gcake
I Cran and I grabbed it then Gout the side door
InCto Central Park through the Gbushes I tore
DHoldin' my strawberry Gcake
Couplet
I Glook back behind me and Dwhat do I see
The chef and headwaiter and Gthe maître d
I had a nice helpin' of Ccake as I ran
I Dgobble them berries as fast as I can
Couplet
They're cloGsin' the gap as I sloDwed down to eat
But the cake brought a new surge of poGwer to my feet
I hid in the bush when the Clead I did take
And I Dquietly finished my strawberry Gcake
Refrain
I Gate all that Dstrawberry Gcake
That Cfine fancy strawberry Gcake
SoCmeone at the plaza is wiGthout dessert
But for the Cfirst time in days now my Gbelly don't hurt
DI'm full of strawberry Gcake
