When the Cookie Jar Is Empty - Michael Franks

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
