Spring was never waiting for us, girl; It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Em G F Am F Am C C/B
Between the parted pages and were pressed, In love's hot, fevered iron like a striped pair of pants.
Refrain:

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down

Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it
Em7 F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E G G/F# F D7
'Cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
Em G F Am F Am C C/B
I recall the yellow cotton dress. Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
Em G F Am F Am C C/B
The birds, like tender babies in your hands and the old men playing checkers by the trees.
Repeat Refrain:
