Fool's Garden – Pieces

(Hinkel / Freudenthaler)

Hello, who are you?

I never saw this girl before

I was astonished as can be

Somebody told me she said

you're just a hungry little guy

So I would like to offer me

to bake some cake for you

The sweetest one you've ever tried

A special cake for you

The one that makes you satisfied

Good-bye sadness,

I'm dreamin' while you slip away

She took me by the hand

She really took me by surprise

One piece of cake was not enough

And so I helped myself

We danced in fool's paradise

and I got drunk of all the love

Then I realized she moved her velvet body over mine

I felt like melting ice

I just admit this woman was divine

Hey, hey, madness,

I'm Dreamin' while you slip away

While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song

And Mary the singer swept the street

The honeymoon's floating over the river

Your cake is sweet

I had a heartache

All the pain was over now

She said: "Bye, bye, little babe"

It was nice to meet you

She closed her eyes and disappeared

I hope some day we'll meet again

If apple or cherry-pie

you honey-bee I love the way you bake

Your cakes are wonderful

Don't care about my stomach-ache

Good-bye sadness,

I'm dreamin' while you slip away

While Buddy the sweeper was singing a sad song

And Mary the singer swept the street

The honeymoon's floating over the river

Your cake is sweet
