Lyrics:

I was home entertaining guests

I fell off the chair and cracked open my head

Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts 'cause they wanted to travel the world

I was home entertaining guests

I fell off the chair and cracked open my head

Bees flew out and they flew up their skirts 'cause they wanted to travel the world

But I keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs for the grand finale

I keep it upstairs

Gonna be a blank slate, gonna wear a white cape

But I keep it upstairs

Gonna jump out of a cake with my heart on a string

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

I go out looking in parked cars

For somebody famous to kidnap and love

Beat off the army with a tennis racket

I go out looking in parked cars

For somebody famous to kidnap and love

Beat off the army with a tennis racket

That's my whole plan

But I keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs for the grand finale

I keep it upstairs

Gonna be a blank slate, gonna wear a white cape

But I keep it upstairs

Gonna tackle young girls off their beautiful bikes

But I keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Oh no, I thought I'd be by now

My head is a buzzing three-star hotel, oh no

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

But I keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs for the grand finale

I keep it upstairs

Gonna be a blank slate, gonna wear a white cape

But I keep it upstairs

Gonna jump out of a cake with my heart on a string

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Keep it upstairs

Oh no, I thought I'd be by now

My head is a buzzing three-star hotel, oh no

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Nowhere did I thought I'd be by now

My head is a buzzing three-star hotel, oh no

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Both lemons and cakes. I'm kind of surprised that they didnt add a reference to Sansa's lemon cakes in Rains of Castamere (Game of Thrones).

Cake is just a kinda universally good thing It's better than saying "I got a coconut" because some people don't like coconuts :P Whereas even people who don't particularly like cake understand that gaining cake is a good thing (in general)
