I went out for a smoke. It’s been raining. Someone dropped a partially eaten cake doughnut on the sidewalk. It’s swollen up to about six times its original size, and it’s a disgusting mess.  
Now I can’t get that damn song out of my head.

Someone left a cake out in the rain. I don’t know if I can take it cuz it took so long to bake it.  
Oh noooooooooooooooooo

Replace the words with Weird Al’s lyrics.

_Someone let T. Rex out of his pen…I’m afraid those things’ll harm me, 'cause they sure don’t act like Barney, and they think that I’m their dinner, not their friend…ohhh noooooooo…_
