lyrics

VERSE 1

I knew a little girl
Celebrating her birthday
She was getting so big
Turning one year old

And mom and dad had
Spent that first year giving her
The most nutritious foods
That their farmer's market sold

No cookies, no ice ice cream
No sweet lollipops
They wanted her to learn
The healthy way to eat

Until the calendar
Got back to when she was born
To celebrate that day
She would get a special treat

CHORUS 1

It was a beautiful chocolate cupcake
Gooey, and messy, with frosting galore
It was a beautiful chocolate cupcake
With a cupcake like that, who could ask for more?

VERSE 2

The girl sat in her highchair
Happy as could be
She didn't understand birthdays
But she understood smiles

Now, though she loved food
She'd never had a cupcake
So when Mom gave one to her
She just stared at it a while

Dad helped blow out the candle
While Mom took a picture
The girl grabbed a chunk of cake
And took her first bite

It got on her clothes
It got in her hair
But when it finally reached her mouth
She squealed in delight

CHORUS 2

It was a beautiful chocolate cupcake
Gooey, and messy, with frosting galore
It was a beautiful chocolate cupcake
With every bite, her tummy called out for more

VERSE 3

The girl couldn't get enough
Of the delicious cupcake
If others got too close
Her glare scared them away

As she ate bite after bite
She looked so very happy
But that's not where
Our story ends today

Because all of the sugar
Now landing in her belly
May have tasted so good
But it made her feel sick

So halfway through
Her oh-so-yummy cupcake
Everything she'd eaten
Came right back up quick

CHORUS 3

It was a beautiful chocolate cupcake
Gooey, and messy, with frosting galore
It was a beautiful chocolate cupcake
Delicious as it was, she couldn't eat any more

BRIDGE

But in her chest beat a heart brave and true
She'd suffered a setback, but she knew what she must do
It was time to reset, time to see this through
She grabbed the half cake left, and started eating anew

[Crowd cheer]

CHORUS 1 & 2
