Intro: G 

Verse: 
G                      D 
In New York city just walking the street 
                      G   
Ran out of money had nothing to eat 
                               C 
I stopped at the Plaza, that fancy hotel 
       D                                      
Where you can check in if you're well to do well... 

     G                   D 
The first of July and a hundred and four 
                                G 
I stopped at the Plaza's front revolving door 
                                  C 
I stepped in the door and went around for a ride 
  D                                
Treatin' myself to the cool air inside 

     G                        D 
Then I found myself in a chandeliered room 
                                G 
Where people were dining and I hid in the gloom 
                               C 
My hunger pains hurt 'til I thought I would break 
         D                                  G 
When a waiter brought out a big strawberry cake 



[Refrão]
G D G Oh that strawberry cake C G Oh that strawberry cake C G Out in California them berries were grown C G And into this city them berries were flown D G For making that strawberry cake Verse: G D Then I thought of Oxnard, just north of LA G Where I picked strawberries for many a day C Hard work with no future for the harvest was done D And I headed eastward a-travelin' by thumb G D And nobody wanted me here in this town G I felt like a stray dog they all kick around C Them berries reminded me of my bad breaks D G I'm hungry and I want that strawberry cake
[Refrão]
G D G I deserve that strawberry cake C G Deserve that strawberry cake C G I ran and I grabbed it then out the side door C G Into Central Park through the bushes I tore D G Holdin' my strawberry cake Verse: G D I look back behind me and what do I see G The chef and headwaiter and the maître d C I had a nice helpin' of cake as I ran D I gobble them berries as fast as I can G D They're closin' the gap as I slowed down to eat G But the cake brought a new surge of power to my feet C I hid in the bush when the lead I did take D G And I quietly finished my strawberry cake
[Refrão]
G D G I ate all that strawberry cake C G That fine fancy strawberry cake C G Someone at the plaza is without dessert C G But for the first time in days now my belly don't hurt D G I'm full of strawberry cake
