about

Music by Alison Hawkins in collaboration with Claire Adams
Lyrics by Alison Hawkins

lyrics

Stuck inside for ten days
Can’t stop thinking ‘bout carrot cake
Plant a garden in my backyard
Hope it grows for goodness sake

Stuck inside for three weeks
On my mind is carrot cake
Rows of seeds, sprouts, and leaves
Waiting on that ground to quake

Stuck inside for four months
Hundred twenty-five days straight
Rip the roots up from the dirt
Now’s the time for carrot cake

Carrot cake carrot cake all I want is
Carrot cake carrot cake all I want is
Carrot cake carrot cake all I want is
Carrot cake carrot cake all I want is

Waiting ‘round for two years
All I ate was carrot cake
Open wide and stuffed my tum
How much longer will it take

Carrot cake carrot cake all I want is
Carrot cake carrot cake all I want is
Carrot cake carrot cake all I want is
Carrot cake carrot cake all I want is
