Just One Little Lick

[Intro] The oven hums a lullaby in sugar-scented air, Flour-dust motes drift like confetti in the glare, A hopeful baker rows her dream through the light, For a surprise party that shines at night. [Verse 1] I'm stacking a giant, whimsical cake for a surprise, Layers climb the ceiling, frosting catching sunbeams in the eyes, But a cat with a covetous grin slips through the floury breeze, Every spiral of icing becomes a paw-print tease. [Pre-Chorus] I guard every corner, every sugar crumb I stalk, Yet the whiskered thief plots a sly, delicious walk, My heart keeps beating, the clock keeps time till the light. [Chorus] Just one little lick! The cat pursues the prize with a purring, frosting kiss, Frosting sails as paws chase the clock and twist, Just one little lick! breaks the kitchen into bliss. [Verse 2] The cat dons a piping bag like a helmet, racing the cream-filled sea, I juggle bowls and dreams, steering the towering cake with glee, Sprinkles rain like stars, while the frosting fans whirl free, But I keep patience on a thread—surprise will soon be seen. [Pre-Chorus] Paws on toppers, a frosting chase that won't slow, I breathe, I breathe in sugar storms and let love grow, The party waits in whispers, the moment starts to glow. [Chorus] Just one little lick! Our clash of whisk and tail paints bright ribbons through the air, We laugh as the bakery shakes with dust and flair, Just one little lick! and the dream stays fair. [Bridge] In the final beat, the bake becomes a friend, The cat curls by the candles, mellow and content, Sharing is sweeter than stealing, laughter sweeter than cream, We toast the moment, a party that smiles back at the dream. [Chorus] Just one little lick! We invite the crowd, love lighting up the room, The giant cake glows bright as joy drowns the gloom, Just one little lick! seals the night in bloom. [Outro] Candles flicker softly, the party sings along, Cat purrs beside the cake, the rhythm of a song.
