tonight it’s jenny’s birthday
she’s living down my street
i said ‘hey, what should i bring ?’
she said ‘what you can find’
thought i could bake her something
but i got lost in the making
i nearly burned down my place
then i ran out of time
thought it was alright
until people started to fall down
i’ll follow the recipe
follow the recipe
follow the recipe
next time
reminds me when i was eight,
my mum she said ‘can you help me?
put some salt on the eggs
and don’t let your toasts turn brown’
i put the sugar instead
and i forgot about the grill
the eggs tasted a bit strange
and the bread fell apart
thought it was alright
but my stomach couldn’t win this fight
i’ll follow the recipe
follow the recipe
follow the recipe
next time
