Capo 4

    A5                                E5
Her name was Flora Spread and she lived on Hovis Hill
F5                              Bb5            E5
Overlooking Baker Town from the window of her flour mill
    A5                                       E5
The bright lights of the city fueled her longing to create
       F5                               Bb5                E5
With the innovative bakers with whom she knew she could relate

    A5                     E5            F5                      Bb5  E5
She saw the cakes they cooked and the muffins that they made
      A5              E5                 F5                     Bb5  E5
But she kept on beating her bread, all the while feeling betrayed
         A5                E5               F5                Bb5  E5            
That her mother left her in this mess of yeast, flour and dough
    A5                  E5                  F5                       E5      A5  G5  D5
She must taste inspiration and stop chewing the bread of woe
     A5       G5  D5
Woah-oah-oah

A5                       G5
Down in baker town lived Victoria Sponge
    D5                                        E5
But her cakes just weren't selling so she knew that it was time to take
    A5                         G5
A plunge into the new, and see things from a brand new view
     G5                            E5
"And yes young Miss Flora I am talking to you

      A5               E5                 F5                 Bb5  E5
Won't you come down that hill of yours and work here in my shop?
    A5                 E5              F5       Bb5  E5
You might have to bake until the ovens pop!
      A5        E5          F5    Bb5  E5
But I need your creative eye
A5      E5         F5            E5
With my wisdom and your innovation
  A5              E5       F5               E5    A5  G5  D5      
Together we can bake the Perfect Success Pie
           A5  G5  D5
Success Pie
      A5  G5  D5      E5
Success Pie-ie-iee"
F5      E5
 Bread! BREAD!

         A5                        E5
After just one week in that shop, Flora's business was booming
    F5                              Bb5           E5
Her creativity blooming and her customers consuming
     A5                          E5
But looming, on the horizon, lay a rising problem
F5                                   Bb5                 E5
People couldn't stop eating, and there was nothing that could stop them

A5              E5        F5                  Bb5  E5
What was once a people of pretty balanced diets
A5               E5               F5          Bb5          E5
Baker Town without its bread was revolution without riots
A5               E5                  F5                  Bb5  E5
Flora closed her shop down, but she knew it was too late
    A5                  E5             F5                 E5        A5  G5  D5
And soon enough the population of the town was overweight
      A5  G5  D5
Overweight
    A5      G5      D5      E5  F5  E5
Overwei-hey-yay - E-ight
F5      E5
 Bread! BREAD!

A5   E5   F5   Bb5 E5
A5   E5   F5   G5

      A5          D5               A5      D5               A5
And so, the very next day Flora went back to her mill 
    D5                     A5     D5  G5
And opened up her bread shop
        A5        D5              A5           D5                 A5
But it seemed, to Flora's dismay that no one wanted her bread
    D5                  A5               D5      G5
And she was left alone up on the hilltop

D5   F5            G5
 Victoria Sponge kept on baking
D5     F5                E5           Eb5
 With recipes she stole from Flora's notes
D5    F5              G5
 And Flora's heart kept breaking
D5       F5              E5              Eb5          D5
 As the cakes continued rising, and the bread became toast...
