Cake Walk Lyrics

[Intro: DNCE]
I keep on hoping we'll eat cake
I keep on hoping we'll eat cake
I keep on hoping we'll eat cake
I keep on hoping we'll eat cake

[Verse 1: John McCrea]
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And, uh, eyes that burn like cigarettes-a
I want a girl with the right allocations
Who is fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry, she's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility and picking up slack

[Chorus 1: John McCrea, Steve Harwell]
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long... jacket
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long...
So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned, you might as well be walking on the sun


[Verse 2: John McCrea]
I want a girl who gets up early (Gets up early!)
I want a girl who stays up late (Stays up late!)
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity (Uninterrupted!)
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice (Hey! Woah!)
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass (Hey! Woah!)
She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack (Hey! Woah!)
She is touring the facility and picking up slack (Hey!)
[Chorus 2: John McCrea, Steve Harwell]
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long...
So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow, if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned, you might as well be walking on the sun


[Bridge: Daft Punk, Vince DiFlore]
Work it, harder; Make it, better; Do it, faster; Makes us stronger
(Na-na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na-na...)
More than ever; Hour after; Hour work is; Never over
(Na-na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na-na...)
Work it, harder; Make it, better; Do it, faster; Makes us stronger
(Na-na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na-na...)
More than ever; Hour after; Hour work is; Never over
(Na-na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na-na-na...)

[Chorus 3: Daft Punk, John McCrea]
Work it, harder; Make it, better; Do it, faster; Makes us stronger
(I want a girl with a short skirt and a long...)
More than ever; Hour after; Hour work is; Never over
Work it, harder; Make it, better; Do it, faster; Makes us stronger
More than ever; Hour after; Hour work is; Never over
Work it, harder; Make it better; Do it, faster; Makes us...
More than ever; Hour after; Hour work is; Never over
Work it, harder; Make it, better; Do it, faster; Makes us stronger
More than ever; Hour after; Hour work is; Never over
[Outro: John McCrea]

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
