- 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 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
