Between _ parted pages and _ [F]

[Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _
MacArthur pop _ is melting in the dark, _ _ all the sweet green [Gm] icing _ [Bb] flowing down.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
Someone left the cake out in the _ rain.
_ _ _ [G] I [C] don't think that I can take it, [Dm] cause it took so long to bake it.
[C] And I'll never have that recipe _ _ [F] again.
