If I knew you were coming,
I'd have baked a cake

I have no idea who sang it, but it's stuck in my head now....

Cream buns and donuts
And fruitcake with no nuts
So good you could go nuts
Give it to me...now!

"I Want It Now" from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (the Gene Wilder one)

Dawn will break
And I'll awake
And start to bake
A sugar cake
For you to take
For all the boys to see

(Irving Caesar/Victor Youmans, "Tea for Two)

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark,
All the sweet green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain,
I don't think that I can take it,
'Cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again...

"MacArthur Park", Richard Harris

Somebody left the cake out in the rain- Oh noooooo, I was gonna eat that cake but now it's all wet and I don't think I want any


"I love you baby"
Sung by Borat on Spaceghost's "Cartoon Planet"

Blow out the candles
And have a piece of cake!

"Happy Birthday" - Weird Al Yankovic

and um, the rest of the lyrics to this song are way funnier, I promise. :)

Come on-a my house
my house
I'm gonna give you candy
Come on-a my house
my house
I'm gonna give you
figs and dates and grapes and cakes
hey...

---don't know the title or singer, but it's the theme song to Girls Next Door =o)

The knot is tied
And so we take
A few hours off to eat wedding cake:
It's delightful
It's delicious
It's de-lovely

(Cole Porter)

She keeps Moet and Chandon in her pretty cabinet.
'Let them eat cake' she says, just like Marie Antoinette.

A cake, a cake, a soul cake
Please good mistress, a soul cake

(one of those weird regional-U.K. things, maybe a precursor to trick-or-treating, and maybe not)

Go bid him send me a slice of cake
And a bottle of the very best wine
And not forget the fair young lady
Who did release him from close confine

Lord Bateman
a traditional ballad I've known since my teens, and I can't believe I forgot this yesterday on "cake day"

I wonder if you like having cake
and eating it too...

Sod and rind to cover your flake
Cake and tea for supper
Codfish in the spring 'o the year
Fried in maggoty butter

I's the B'y - traditional song from Newfoundland

There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth

"Bastille Day"
Rush
