[Verse 1] You set the flour by the coffee tin Got one eye open and a crooked grin The timer’s blinking, the kettle’s gone You’re measuring sugar with the oven still on [Pre-Chorus] You said, “I’m fine, I’ve done this before” Then put the mixing bowl down on the floor [Chorus] It’s called wake and bake for a reason Let the morning arrive before you start the season If you bake before you bake, things can go wrong Salt in the brownies, smoke alarm song Wake up, get steady, then handle the cake It’s called wake and bake for a reason [Verse 2] The butter’s in the cupboard, the mitts in the sink You’re staring at the recipe, forgetting to blink A tray hits the counter, the dog gets a treat Now there’s a floury pawprint parade down the street [Pre-Chorus] You laughed, “That’s fine, I can fix this mess” Then tried to preheat the dish towel instead [Chorus] It’s called wake and bake for a reason Let the morning arrive before you start the season If you bake before you bake, things can go wrong Salt in the brownies, smoke alarm song Wake up, get steady, then handle the cake It’s called wake and bake for a reason [Breakdown] Read that card Check that dial Take a breath Wait a while [Bridge] A little patience saves the batch Keep both hands where the oven can’t catch Coffee first, clear head, clean slate There’ll still be cookies when you’re ready to bake [Final Chorus] It’s called wake and bake for a reason Let the morning arrive before you start the season If you bake before you bake, things can go wrong Salt in the brownies, smoke alarm song Wake up, get steady, then handle the cake It’s called wake and bake for a reason [Outro] Read that card Check that dial Wake up first Then bake in style
