Her name was Flora Spread and she lived on Hovis Hill
F                               Bb            E
Overlooking Baker Town from the window of her flour mill
    Am                                   E
The bright lights of the city fueled her longing to create
         F                               Bb               E
With the innovative bakers with whom she knew she could relate

    Am                 E              F                 Bb  E
She saw the cakes they cooked and the muffins that they made
        Am              E                  F                   Bb  E
But she kept on beating her bread, all the while feeling betrayed
         Am                E             F                Bb  E
That her mother left her in this mess of yeast, flour and dough
    Am              E               F                    E      Am  G  D
She must taste inspiration and stop chewing the bread of woe
     Am  G  D
Woah-oah-oah

Am                       G
Down in baker town lived Victoria Sponge
    D                                     E
But her cakes just weren't selling so she knew that it was time to take
    Am                     G
A plunge into the new, and see things from a brand new view
     G                        E
"And yes young Miss Flora I am talking to you

        Am               E                 F               Bb  E
Won't you come down that hill of yours and work here in my shop?
    Am             E            F        Bb  E
You might have to bake until the ovens pop!
      Am          E         F    Bb  E
But I need your creative eye
Am      E          F          E
With my wisdom and your innovation
  Am            E        F               E    Am  G  D
Together we can bake the Perfect Success Pie

           Am                     E
After just one week in that shop, Flora's business was booming
    F                           Bb           E
Her creativity blooming and her customers consuming
     Am                     E
But looming, on the horizon, lay a rising problem
F                                    Bb            E
People couldn't stop eating, and there was nothing that could stop them

Am              E         F                 Bb  E
What was once a people of pretty balanced diets
Am               E               F          Bb      E
Baker Town without its bread was revolution without riots
Am               E                  F               Bb  E
Flora closed her shop down, but she knew it was too late
    Am              E          F                   E      Am  G  D
And soon enough the population of the town was overweight
        Am  G  D
Overweight

Overwei-hey-yay-e-ight

And so, the very next day Flora went back to her mill
    Dm                 A     Dm  G
And opened up her bread shop
        A         Dm            A            Dm            A
But it seemed, to Flora's dismay that no one wanted her bread
    Dm              A            Dm     G
And she was left alone up on the hilltop

D   F         G
 Victoria Sponge kept on baking
D     F           E          Eb
 With recipes she stole from Flora's notes
D    F          G
 And Flora's heart kept breaking
D        F              E               Eb          D
 As the cakes continued rising, and the bread became toast...
