Sunshine Cake - Original - Frank Sinatra

Frank: We ought to bake a sunshine cake

It does more good than a big thick steak

Paula: Start with a tablespoon of trouble

Then add a smile and let it bubble off

Frank and Paula: We ought to bake a sunshine cake

Paula: It isn’t really so hard to make

Frank: Fresh tears upon the tomb of pleasure

Paula: Kind words you needn’t use a major cut

Frank: It’s not from a recipe book

You don’t have to be a good cook

Paula: Or run to the oven and look

Frank and Paula: With such a simple dish, all you do is wish

So why not bake a sunshine cake

Frank: Of course it may keep your dreams awake

Friends say there’s nothing like the flavor

Don’t wait to do your friends a favor

Frank and Paula: And for goodness sake, let’s bake a sunshine cake

Frank: It’s got vitamins A, vitamins B

Paula: Vitamins L-O-V-E

Frank: If you’re fat, it’s for that

Paula: If you’re thin, stuff it in

Frank and Paula: What’s wrong if you get a lot of grin

We ought to bake a sunshine cake

Frank: It’s not from a recipe book

Paula: You don’t have to be a good cook

Frank and Paula: Or run to the oven and look

With such a simple dish, all you do is wish

So why not bake a sunshine cake

Of course it may be your dreams awake

Frank: Friends say there ain’t nothing like the flavor

Paula: Don’t wait to do your friends a favor

Frank and Paula: And for goodness sake, let’s bake a sunshine cake
