You Should Be a Baker ft. Bonecage Lyrics

Workin' hard in the springtime

It was time for a break

I took a seat in the food court

That was my first mistake

A middle aged man turned around to look at me

Without a second thought, he went and took the nearest seat

And said "Sorry, you looked a little like a friend"

I awkwardly chuckled and started to eat

But he insisted on absorbing my time

He asked me some questions, not very discreet

And then I looked in his eyes as they began to shine

He said

You should be a baker

You should quit your job and learn to bake

Think of all the pastries you can make

When you're thirty-five

You should be a baker

Or work in the deli industry

Forget about the life you wanna lead

And take a page outta mine

I was no longer out in the sun

But I was covered in sweat

That awkward feeling deep inside me

Is something I won't forget

He told me "Working retail's a dead end job"

Which I was well aware, but dude, I ain't no slob

I got projects and goals I'm working hard to achieve

I couldn't keep contact with one single eye

While the other listed off to the side

I'm counting the seconds as they're ticking by

I wish I picked a better place to hide

He said, again

You should be a baker

You should quit your job and learn to bake

Think of all the pastries you can make

When you're forty-five

You-hoo-hoo should be a baker

(You should be a baker man)

Or work in the deli industry

Forget about the life you wanna lead

And take a page outta mine

This conversation's been just fine

Do you wanna hang out sometime?

Croquembouche solo!

You should be a baker

You should quit your job and learn to bake

Think of all the pastries you can make

While you're still alive

You-hoo-hoo should be a baker

(You should be a baker man)

Or work in the deli industry

Forget about the life you wanna lead

And take a page outta mine
