The Baby in the Cake
My friends are comin' over for Epiphany
to celebrate the Three Kings with my family
we're havin' champurrado and a big round cake
but if you eat some, there's a kind of risk you take
'cause if you get a plastic baby Jesus in your piece
You host a big fiesta and you make the tamales

Who's wanna get
Who's gonna get the baby in the cake?
Who's gonna get?
The one abuella and my mama baked
I'm not so good at makin' tamales
I'm really best at eatin' 'em as you can see
Well, it's supposed to bring you good luck if you win that "prize"
But if I do, I guess I'm gonna have to improvise

February second is la fiesta
they call it dia de la candelaria
It's forty dsays since Christmas and it marks the day
They brought the baby Jesus to the temple, they say
It doesn't give me too much time to plan a feast
But if I get some help, well, maybe we'll have fun, at least

Don't wanna get
Don't wanna get the baby in the cake?
Don't wanna get
The one abuella and my mama baked
I'm not so good at makin' tamales
I'm really best at eatin' 'em as you can see
Well, it's supposed to bring you good luck if you win that "prize"
But if I do, I guess I'm gonna have to improvise

You make the masa
well, that's the dough
prepare the fillings
so many kinds
tie 'em in corn husks
It takes all day
Then steam 'em
while you hang out with your friends

Who's wanna get
Who's gonna get the baby in the cake?
Who's gonna get?
The one abuella and my mama baked
I'm not so good at makin' tamales
I'm really best at eatin' 'em as you can see
Well, it's supposed to bring you good luck if you win that "prize"
But if I do, I guess I'm gonna have to improvise

Who's wanna get the baby in the cake?
Who's gonna get?
Don't wanna get the baby in the cake?
Don't wanna get
