IGn New York city just waDlking the street
Ran out of money had noGthing to eat
I stopped at the Plaza that fanCcy hotel
Where yoDu can check in if you're well to do well...
The fiGrst of July and a huDndred and four
I stopped at the Plaza's front reGvolving door
I stepped in the door and went arouCnd for a ride
TreDatin' myself to the cool air inside
Then IG found myself in a chandeDliered room
Where people were dining and I hiGd in the gloom
My hunger pains hurt 'til I thouCght I would break
When a waiDter brought out a big strawberry caGke
OGh that strDawberry caGke
OCh that strawberry caGke
Out iCn California them berGries were grown
And inCto this city them beGrries were flown
For maDking that strawberry caGke
ThGen I thought of Oxnard just noDrth of LA
Where I picked strawberries for maGny a day
Hard work with no future for the haCrvest was done
And ID headed eastward a-travelin' by thumb
And noGbody wanted me heDre in this town
I felt like a stray dog they alGl kick around
Them berries reminded me oCf my bad breaks
I'm huDngry and I want that strawberry caGke
IG deserve that strDawberry caGke
DeseCrve that strawberry caGke
I raCn and I grabbed it then ouGt the side door
IntCo Central Park through the busGhes I tore
HoDldin' my strawberry caGke
I loGok back behind me and whDat do I see
The chef and headwaiter and thGe maître d
I had a nice helpin' of caCke as I ran
I gobDble them berries as fast as I can
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 leCad I did take
And I quiDetly finished my strawberry caGke
IG ate all that straDwberry caGke
That fiCne fancy strawberry caGke
SomeoCne at the plaza is wiGthout dessert
But for the firCst time in days now my beGlly don't hurt
I'Dm full of strawberry caGke
