Michael Franks - When The Cookie Jar Is Empty Lyrics






When the cookie jar is empty
Baby gets so glum
When the cookie jar is empty
Baby sucks her thumb

Baby breaks her dishes
And she won't eat her peas
Baby never misses
When she throws her spoon at me

Leo is high as I am leaving
Love is the web that she is weaving

When the cookie jar is empty
Baby don't act right
When the cookie jar is empty
Baby cries all night

Baby gets so sassy
How can I explain?
Baby moves her chassis
Like a locomotive train

Virgo is high as I'm returning
Love is the candle she is burning
...

    The radio is on and this song plays - the rain has just stopped; water dripping down the roof, down the plants, down wherever the rain has fallen. Soft echoing thunder rolling the skies. Oh, the rain draining down the pipes. The crickets have entered the scene. The rain has stopped - but it dwells.
