Verse 1
(G major) In New York city just (D major) walking the street
Ran out of money had nothing (G major) to eat
I stopped at the Plaza, that (C major) fancy hotel
Where (D major) you can check in if you're
well to do wellâ?¦
The first (G major) of Ju (D major) ly and a
hundred and four
I stopped at the Plaza's front
(G major) re volving door
I stepped in the door and went
around (C major) for a ride
Treatin' (D major) myself to the cool air inside
Then (G major) I found myself in a (D major)
chandeliered room
Where people were dining
and I (G major) hid in the gloom
My hunger pains hurt 'til
I thought (C major) I would break
When a (D major) waiter brought out
a big strawberry (G major) cake
Verse 2
(G major) Oh that strawberry (D major) cake (G major)
(C major) Oh that strawberry (G major) cake
Out (C major) in California them
(G major) berries were grown
And (C major) into this city them (G major) berries were flown
For (D major) making that strawberry (G major) cake

Verse 3
Then I (G major) thought of Oxnard, just
(D major) north of LA
Where I picked strawberries
for (G major) many a day
Hard work with no future
for the (C major) harvest was done
An (D major) d I headed eastward
a-travelin' by by thumb
And (G major) nobody wanted (D major) me here in this town
I felt like a stray dog they (G major) all kick around
Them berries reminded me
(C major) of my bad breaks
I'm (D major) hungry and I want that
strawberry (G major) cake
Verse 4
I deserve that strawberry (D major) (G major) cake
Deserve (C major) that strawberry cake (G major)
I (C major) ran and I grabbed it then (G major) out the side door
In (C major) to Central Park through
the (G major) bushes I tore
(D major) Holdin' my strawberry cake (G major)
Verse 5
(G major)
I look back behind me and
(D major) what do I see
The chef and headwaiter and (G major) the maître d
I had a nice helpin' of cake (C major) as I ran
I (D major) gobble them berries as fast
as I can
They're closin' (G major) the gap as
I slowed (D major) down to eat
But the cake brought a new
surge of (G major) power to my feet
I hid in the bush when the lead (C major) I did take
And I (D major) quietly finished my strawberry cake (G major)
Verse 6
I (G major) ate all that (D major) strawberry (G major) cake
That fine (C major) fancy strawberry (G major) cake
Someone (C major) at the plaza is (G major) without dessert
But for the (C major) first time in days
now my (G major) belly don't hurt
(D major) I'm full of strawberry cake
(G major)
