[Verse 1]
Am           Em7    Am                Em7              Am    Em7    Am   Em7
Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber

May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown
        F
I don't know what tune that the orchestra played
            D                G
But it went by me sickly and sentimental
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                                    D/F#
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
                     G                 Am
Tammy Bakker's got a lot on her plate

The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner
        Am         Em7             Am         Em7          Am      Em7  Am  Em7
And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek
        F
And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow
         D                        G
Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                                    D/F#
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?

[Bridge]
        A7                              D7
And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate
A7                       D7
Cars shooting by with no number plates
    E
And here comes Mrs Hairy Legs
 
Am     Em7    (x4)
[Verse 3]
  Am        Em7          Am       Em7     Am   Em7     Am    Em7
I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven
      Am         Em7        Am            Em7        Am  Em7   Am   Em7
And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257
    F
The excess of fat on your American bones
     D                         G
Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                                    D/F#
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?

Kathy Straker, boy, could she lose some weight
                                D/F#
Can I buy another slice of real estate?
                 G
Liberace must be laughing in his grave
 
Am    Em7          Am       Em7       Am     Em7
